Billy Joel - The Stranger: chords

        Em7
Well we all have a face
         Am           Em7
That we hide away forever
       Am                  C
And we take them out and show ourselves
     D                B7
When everyone has gone
         Em7
Some are satin some are steel
          Am                Em7
Some are silk and some are leather
            Am7             D
They're the faces of the stranger
        Bm7             Em7 C9 Em7 C9
But we love to try them on

Chorus:
         Em7
Well, we all fall in love
        Am           Em7
But we disregard the danger
          Am7            C
Though we share so many secrets
           D                 B7
There are some we never tell
         Em7
Why were you so surprised
          Am            Em7
That you never saw the stranger
        Am7            D
Did you ever let your lover see
       Bm7          Em7
The stranger in yourself?
Gmaj7    Gmmaj7        D/F#
Don't be afraid to try again
D7            Gmaj7
Everyone goes south
Gmmaj7        D/F#  Am7 D9
Every now and then, oo hoo
Gmaj7           Gmmaj7            D/F#
You've done it, why can't someone else?
D7/C               Bm
You should know by now
A#                    A6  B7
You've been there yourself

Once I used to believe
I was such a great romancer
Then I came home to a woman
That I could not recognize
When I pressed her for a reason
She refused to even answer
It was then I felt the stranger
Kick me right between the eyes

Chorus

You may never understand
How the stranger is inspired
But he isn't always evil
And he is not always wrong
Though you drown in good intentions
You will never quench the fire
You'll give in to your desire
When the stranger comes along
Ooo ooo
Ooh ooh
