Verse 1:
G C G
      Another night indoors,
G C G                 C   Em
      Another sign of life-ife
G           D           G
Wobbling up through the floor
G C G
      You and Kidada
G C G                  C          Em
      Ooh, I might get low, low, low
    G            D       G
But now I'm too high to know
G              C           G
 The sound of you and your sister
           G          C     G
I couldn't face these days alone
            C            Em
You got the right light, candles burning
   G                  D   G
We don't need the moon anymore
G             C          G
 I used to look for an answer
          G          C    G
I used to knock on every door
                C         Em
But you got the wave on, music playing
G                   D  G
Don't need to look anymore


Chorus:
C  D   G                      C
I-I-I, things have never been stranger
C  D   G                      C
I-I-I, things are gonna stay strange
C  D       G                  C
I-I-I, I remember life as a stranger
C  D
I-I-I, but things change


Verse 2:
G C G
      You and Kidada
G C G                     C         Em
      Ooh, the lights get low, low, low
    G        D      G
And I got nowhere to go
G          C             G
 I used to freeze on the dance floor
              G        C        G
I watched the icebergs from the shore
                C       Em
But you got the heat on, kettle screaming
G             D         G
Don't need to freeze anymore

I-I-I, I remember life as a stranger

Bridge:
G              C            D                G
 Who knows the reason that kindness lost its hold?
G             C          Am            D
 Those better angels confined to minor roles
G           C                 D               G
 I left the wilding, wilding, wilding days of old
G              C          Am            D
 Your house is warmer the wilderness is cold
