Kate Wolf - We Were Strangers
INTRO:   C    G  C  
You never asked for much, but I Floved you just the sameG  
You with your quiet eyes and a Fface without a Cname
You stood there staring as I Fsang another song
CWe were strangers then, Gwe weren't strangers ClongC7  
It was Call that I could do not to Fturn away and hideG  
You stared right through me as you Fstood there at my Cside
The things I read in those blue eyes, they Fseemed so calm and strong
CWe were strangers then, Gwe weren't strangers ClongC7  
CHORUS:
Now Fwe weren't strangers long, though we Cnever spoke at all
But D7in your eyes I saw you knew we were Gheading for a fall
I Clove you so completely, I never Fthought it might be wrong
CWe were strangers then, but Gwe weren't strangers Clong
INSTRUMENTAL:   C    F    G    F      C    F    G    C  
CHORUS:
We weren't strangers Flong, though we Cnever spoke at all
D7In your eyes I saw you knew we were Gheading for a fall
I Cknew you so completely, I never Fthought it might be wrongC  
We were strangers then, but Gwe weren't strangers Clong
Just like a book when it's Fread between the lines
It's the Gwords that weren't spoken that Ftold me you were Cmine
And now the pages turn, but the Fstory still goes onC  
We were strangers then, Gwe weren't Dstrangers ClongD  C
