[Intro]
A E Bm F#m E
[Verse]
this apAartment
was rented for a Ereason
but not the BmoneF#m  
others might Esuspect
I'm not Asure 
I am missed or if he even nEotices
I'm not hBmome F#m  
but it doesn't really Ematter
[Chorus]
I came here to be a stDranger
in order to have F#mtried everything
and after all I am Dused toE  
be treated like Aone
I came here to be a stDranger
in order to have F#mtried everything
and after all I am Dused toE  
be treated like Aone
[Verse]
I grew old at nineteen
but it didn't seem to bother him
he said he liked what he saw
if he looked at me at all
so I packed what I had
determined to become 
someone rather than anyone
[Chorus]
I came here to be a stDranger
in order to have F#mtried everything
and after all I am Dused toE  
be treated like Aone
I came here to be a stDranger
in order to have F#mtried everything
and after all I am Dused toE  
be treated like Aone
