Hello Stranger

      B 
hello stranger it’s been oh so long 
     Bmaj7 
since we rode our luck where we once belonged 
  E                                       B 
I think of you sometimes when the air is clear 

I wonder are you near? 
F# 
sometimes the end is sweet 
                     E 
though when it comes to you my poor heartbeat 

      B 
gets out of sync and time plays tricks 
     Bmaj7 
old visions of you are where this boy sticks 
  E 
i seen you in these books i read 
        B 
are you still being born at breakneck speed? 
F# 
sometimes there’s no confession on this earth 
E 
that will not leave you bound

G#m             E         B     Eb 
Listen to the streetcars breathing 
G#m             E         B     Eb 
The night is young and life is calling 
G#m             E         B     F# 
I’ll see you when the dream gets moving 
G#m             E         B     Eb 
Lift your eyes the world is watching

and after all we both know how this ends 
B         BMb5add5        Badd4         B 
we both know we must give back what we spend 



      B 
hello stranger did you ever find 
          Bmaj7 
all those priceless jewels that you kept entwined? 
  E                                          B 
I sometimes here your name when the day gets slow 
                           F# 
I wonder did you know that I left you’re house praying 
             E 
While those words I spoke hung upside down?
