Hey stranger
Would you cCome in through my door?
If not nDow I leave it ajar
And then Cmaybe you could Gcome back come back
I'll be Cwaiting here for you
I'll be Dhoping here for you
I'll be Cpraying here that you'll believe it's tDrue
That in Gall these lonely years
How would I have Cloved your company
But I Dnever could give in
To this Gfragile side of me
You see I've Calways been a man of great Dambition
But Csuccess just turned his back and never Dcame
And now I Gfind I became a man
Of even Cgreater solitude
And I Dwish I'd spent more time
Making Gfriends with guys like you
Oh Cstranger, Chow can I make you Dstay?
CFor a Glittle while, a little while
Oh Cstranger, please don't go Daway
HmI'm living on, on and on and on
GI'm singing on, on and on and on just to let me
Csing one song for Dyou
And Ghey stranger
CThis is my song, it is Dold and it is wrinkled
I Gtried it for too long
I tried it Ctime after time
To Dforget about myself
CAnd to hide it in a while
But a whDile's been going on
Since I cGan't remember when
And got cCatched up by the life
Of a Dlost and lonely man
I think I'm a-sung away a little faster
than I planned
GHey stranger
CThis is my life, I can't Duse it anymore
For I shCare it with one but Gmyself myself
I can't fCool you anymore
Let me hDide with you a while
Let me tCry it a little while
Let me tDry it a little while
And then maCybe you'll believe it's Dtrue
That in aGll these years I spent
With the Cglory of a fool
Making Ddiamonds out of tears
On the Ghighest bid to go
That I've been searching for a friend
To tCell my troubles to
But I could Dnever understand
How to gCet out of that cell Gthat cell
GPlease don't send me back to hell

C G

Hey stranger

Would you come in through my door?

If not now I leave it ajar

C G

And then maybe you could come back come back

I'll be waiting here for you

I'll be hoping here for you

C D

I'll be praying here that you'll believe it's true

That in all these lonely years

How would I have loved your company

But I never could give in

To this fragile side of me

C D

You see I've always been a man of great ambition

C D

But success just turned his back and never came

And now I find I became a man

Of even greater solitude

And I wish I'd spent more time

Making friends with guys like you

C C D

Oh stranger, how can I make you stay?

C G

For a little while, a little while

C D

Oh stranger, please don't go away

I'm living on, on and on and on

I'm singing on, on and on and on just to let me

C D

sing one song for you

And hey stranger

C D

This is my song, it is old and it is wrinkled

I tried it for too long

I tried it time after time

To forget about myself

And to hide it in a while

But a while's been going on

Since I can't remember when

And got catched up by the life

Of a lost and lonely man

I think I'm a-sung away a little faster

than I planned

Hey stranger

C D

This is my life, I can't use it anymore

C G

For I share it with one but myself myself

I can't fool you anymore

Let me hide with you a while

Let me try it a little while

C D

And then maybe you'll believe it's true

That in all these years I spent

With the glory of a fool

Making diamonds out of tears

On the highest bid to go

That I've been searching for a friend

To tell my troubles to

But I could never understand

C G

How to get out of that cell that cell

Please don't send me back to hell
