♫ Intro:

 G*          | G*          | G*          | G*          :
 G*          | G*          | G*          | G*          :

♫ Verse 1:
  G*                               G*
I knew this moment would come along
    G*                               G*
but somethin' changed quite early on.
Em                           Em
Honestly, I think I remember when
  G*                                G*
I guess I just kept lookin' for the reasons I'd be wrong,
            G*                               G***
ignored the warning signs, it was easy to pretend.

♫ Chorus 1:
D/F#* Em***        Em/B*  G
Was I wrong to say that I loved ya,
     Bm**     Am**          D
even though I know that was true?
     G*                              G*
Wish I could've kept my distance then
        Em**             D**             C         C
and you wouldn't be this stranger I once knew,
G  G               C        C        Em        D
   stranger I once knew.

♫ Verse 2:
  G*                              G*
I tend to say the same old lines, over and over from time to time;
G*                                     G*
blind by pictures drawn up in my mind.
     G*                                 G*
Wish love could be as simple as one and one is two,
           G*                             G***
just as forever would be us, just all the time.

♫ Chorus 2:
     D/F#* Em***        Em/B*  G
Now, was I wrong to say that I loved ya,
     Bm**     Am**          D
even though I know that was true?
       G*                            G*
Wish I could've kept my distance then
        Em**             D**             C         C
and you wouldn't be this stranger I once knew,
G  G               C        C        Em        D
   stranger I once knew.

♫ Bridge:
         Am                   Bm
They say only the good times, only the good times
     Em           Em
will linger, will linger.
     Am                              Bm
From bitter to sweet wine, if you're takin'
                C                         D*
enough time you fill up that hole in your heart, yeah.

♫ Interlude:

         G*                              G*
I wish I could've kept my distance then,
      G*                                 G*
you'd still be a dear old friend.
        G*                                G*
And you wouldn't be this stranger I once knew.

And you wouldn't be this stranger I once knew,

   stranger I once knew.
