         A
All my friends
Now seem so thin and frail
        E
Slinky secrets
                 D  
Hotter than the sun
	    A
No peachy prayers
No trendy rechauffe
          E
I'm with you
              D  
So I can't go on

Chorus:
	E
All my violence
	 D               A
Raining tears upon the sheet
       E
I'm bewildered
     D		             A
For we're strangers when we meet

Blank screen TV
Preening ourselves in the snow
Forget my name
But I'm over you
Blended sunrise
And it's a dying world
Humming Rheingold
We scavenge up our clothes

Chorus

	    E      D  
Cold tired fingers
		  D
Tapping out your memories
         E      D  
Halfway sadness
                D
Dazzled by the new
         A
Your embrace
Was all that I feared
               E
That whirling room
	      D  
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
