D         G7                                              D
He's the perfect stranger like a cross of himself and a fox.
D7sus4  D
D7sus4    G7                                            D  D7sus4  D
He's a feeling arranger and a changer of the way he talks.
D7sus4   G7                                                 D
He's the unforeseen danger and the keeper of the key to the locks. 
Csus2  D  Csus2
Gm7           Am7    Gm7           Am7
Know when you see him, nothing can free him.
Gm7       Am7       D
Step aside, open wide, it's the loner.
Dm7  G/D  C/D  D  Csus2  D  G7  D Csus2
D         G7                                              D
If you see him in the subway, he'll be down at the end of the car,
D7sus4  D
D7sus4    G7                                            D  D7sus4  D
Watching you move until he knows, he knows who you are.
D7sus4    G7                                            D
When you get off at the station alone, he'll know that you are.
Csus2  D  Csus2
Gm7           Am7    Gm7           Am7
Know when you see him, nothing can free him.

D         G7                                              D
There was a woman he knew about a year or so ago.

D7sus4    G7                                            D  D7sus4  D
She had something that he needed and he pleaded with her not to go.
D7sus4   G7                                                 D
On the day that she left, he died but it did not show.
Csus2  D  Csus2
Gm7           Am7    Gm7           Am7
Know when you see him, nothing can free him.

Step aside, open wide, it's the loner.
