Thanks a lot!
This is a little cha-cha called Stranger Than Fiction
One, two, one, nine, nine, [C] nine
[G] [D] [G]
[D] [Em] [C]
[D] [G] [C] [G]
[D] [G] [Cm] Please, [G] Mr.
Can you help me try to find my [C] Betty's house?
It's three in the [D] morning in the pouring [Em] rain
[C] I can't [G] find her house, and I forgot the [C] number
But I gotta give her [G] these roses to relieve her [C] pain
Yeah, [G] [C] just tell me [F#] you've been there [G] before
[C] So fight, [D] but we'll fight [Em] every evening
[C] I tell you, every [G] morning [D] I just [G] love her [C] more
I [D] was [G] on [C] a belt with [G] disasters [D] and friction
[C] And life [G] [D] can be [Em] strange
[C] But love [D] can be stranger [Em] than fiction
[C] Only love [F] can be stranger [G] than fiction
[C]
[G] [D] [G]
[D] [Em] [C]
[G] [D] [Em] [C]
[D] [G] [C] [B] Excuse me, [D] operator, tell [C] me what time it is
Me and my lover [D] been in bed [Em] all day
[C] I think I [G] strained a [D] muscle, I didn't [C] know I had
[Bm] Tell me what day is it [G] anyway
[C] [G]
Don't laugh, just tell me you hear [Am] what I [C] say
I [B] love her so much [D] I don't even [C] know what planet I'm on
Love her so [D] much I wish she'd just go [C] away
And [G]
life [D] comes [G] [C] on
Filled [G] with bizarre [D] contradictions
[C] And [D] life can [Em] be [C] strange
But love [D] can be stranger [Em] than fiction
[C] Only love can be [F] stranger [G] than fiction
[C] I know [F] that [C] sometimes [Em] love [Dm] goes
But sometimes it comes back to [Em] get ya
[Am] [F] [C] And [Em] when love grows
[Am] It grows like a flower or grows like a tumor
[D] [Am] Love shows that God has [D] a sense of [C] humor
[G] [D] [G]
Don't [C] you know that?
And life [D] goes [Em]
on
[C] [G] Every year to [D] prediction
[C] And [G] life [D] can be [Em]
strange
[C] But love [D] can be stranger [Em] than fiction
[C] Only love can be stranger [G] than fiction
[F] [G] Stranger than fiction
[F] Stranger [G] than fiction
[F] Stranger [G] than fiction
