Strangers When We Meet
By David Bowie
A
All my friends
Now seem so thin and frail
           E
Slinky secrets
                D/F#
Hotter than the sun
     A
No peachy prayers
No trendy rechauffe
         E
I'm with you
      D/F#
So I can't go on
Chorus:
  E
All my violence
    D          A
Raining tears upon the sheet
            E
I'm bewildered/resentful
  D          A
For we're strangers when we meet
         A
Blank screen TV
Preening ourselves in the snow
  E
Forget my name
     D/F#
But I'm over you
        A
Blended sunrise
And it's a dying world
         E
Humming Rheingold
       D/F#
We scavenge up our clothes
(Chorus)
      E        D/F#
Cold tired fingers
   D
		 (no third)    
Tapping out your memories
             E    D/F#
Halfway sadness
   D
		 (no third)
Dazzled by the new
          A
Your embrace 
Was all that I feared
              E
That whirling room
        D/F#
We trade by vendu
      E
Steely resolve 
         D      A
Is falling from me
     E
My poor soul
 D          A
All bruised passivity
  E
All your regrets
       D             A
Ride rough-shod over me
       E
I'm so glad
            D                A
That we're strangers when we meet
        E
I'm so thankful
            D                A
That we're strangers when we meet
        E
I'm in clover
                D      A
That we're strangers when we meet
           E
Heel head over
             D              A
And we're strangers when we meet
