     A7Isn't it strange that two Dstrangers 
     A7Suddenly don't feel so Dstrange 
   GIt's something familiar, Dthough this time its different 
   EmWhat they're in for feels like sea Achange 
    A7Isn't it weird the two Dweirdos 
    A7Can wind up not feeling that Dweird 
   GIt's all so momentous, Dyet perfectly normal 
   EmScary but not to be Afeared 
B part
And it sAmtarts with a sentence Gthat might last a lifetime 
  DThough it all might just go down in Amflames 
If I let you know me then Gwhy would you want me? 
DEach day I don't is a Amshame 
CEach day I don't Gis a great Dshame 
   A7Isn't it great that two Dpeople 
   A7Together can tear down one Dwall
   GThe handwriting is oDn it, it's not hieroglyphic 
That Embarrier just has to Afall 
   A7Well, isn't it sad that most Dpeople 
   A7Stay so lonely, it's almost a Dcrime 
  GWe might be strange weirdos, Dbut it can't be normal 
To be Emfrightened so much of our A7time 
Repeat B part
Note:  He plays it one full step up (or capo 2 as written here)
