Intro: Dm7 G9 Cmaj7 A7/13- Dm7 G9 Fm7 Cmaj7 A7/13- 

Dm7       G9  
Take my hand 
         Cmaj7          Cmaj7/9 
I'm a stranger in paradise 
Dm7          G9       Fm7   
All lost in a wonderland 
       Cmaj7         Cmaj7/9 
A stranger in paradise 
         Dm7       G9        
If I stand starry-eyed 
            Cmaj7     Cmaj7/9 
That's a danger in paradise 
    Am6      Dm7        Fm     
For mortals who stand beside 
 G9     C  
An angel like you 

Bridge: 

       G#7         C# 
I saw your face, and I ascended 
        Bm6    C7      Fm 
Out of the commonplace into the rare 
      E7          A 
Somewhere in space I hang suspended 
      Dm7         G9       Cmaj7 
Until I know there's a chance you care 
      Edim       Dm7            G9   
Won't you answer the fervent prayer 
            Cmaj7      Cmaj7/9 
Of a stranger in paradise 
           Dm7           G9        
Don't send me in dark despair    
       Cmaj7          Cmaj7/9 
From all that I hunger for 
          D7        G9               
But open your angel arms 
           Em7          Edim 
To this stranger in paradise 
            Dm7          Fm             
And tell him that he need be 
      G9       C  
A stranger no more
