[Intro]

[Verse 1]

Stranger

I'm feeling stranger

Than I've ever felt before

And so much more

Different

Like something old has joined

Cmaj7

With something new

But still feels true

Am7 Am C F F6

I'm passing through a rite that every parent does

Csus2 G D4 F Fsus2 C

I'm walking on some shared familiar ground

Csus2 Am

Yet every step I take

Am7 F6 F

Is not a step that was

F6 Bb2

And I've found

Bb2

I like the sound of

[Verse 2]

Stranger

A child I've yet to meet

Cmaj7

Becomes my everything

My song to sing

Father

And suddenly the weight of it is real

Cmaj7 F

What do I feel?

Am7 Am C Fsus2 F6

I feel connected in a way I've never known

Csus2 G D4 F Fsus2 C

A line from Dad to me to new-born son

So from today

I'll never make a choice alone

Bb2

One for all

Bb2

All for one

[Bridge]

And when he's born

Fsus4 Fsus2 C

I'll teach him how to use his common sense

Bb6 F Csus2 G

He'll listen and he'll learn and he'll excel

I'll tell my son

F Fsus2 C

That life is lived in clear and present tense

Bb6 F F6 Csus2 G

Not only in the stories we can tell

My father told me stories

F F6

I could never comprehend

D F F6

In every tale he'd claim to be the hero

Bb F

I've tried to understand him

F#sus2 D#sus2

But I wonder if I can

D# C# D# C#

Because after almost thirty years

Dm7 Dsus4 Dm7

I still don't know the man

F Dm Asus4

I wish I knew the man

[Verse 3]

Dm G C

But he's a stranger

F Cmaj7

My father is a stranger I know very well

A puzzling shell

Hopeful

F Cmaj7

What's on its way may help us both to grow

Fsus2

But I don't know

Am C Fsus2 Dm7

I don't know when I'll understand what made him wild

Csus2 G Csus4 C

I don't know why he has the urge to fly

Am F6

I want to face him like a man and not a child

Bb2

So I'll try

Bb2

I'll really try

[Outro]

C Csus2 G

And in time, my boy is sure to see

Dsus4 C#maj7

Brighter days for dad and me

Dm7 Am C(b5) Am
