Strangers When We Meet
By David Bowie

AAll (x02220@1)my friends

Now seem so thin and frail
           ESlinky (022100@1)secrets
                D/F#Hotter (200232@1)than the sun
		   ANo (x02220@1)peachy prayers

No trendy rechauffe
	        EI'm (022100@1)with you
		    D/F#So (200232@1)I can't go on

Chorus:
		EAll (022100@1)my violence
	   D (xx0232@1)        ARaining (x02220@1)tears upon the sheet
            EI'm (022100@1)bewildered/resentful
		D (xx0232@1)        AFor (x02220@1)we're strangers when we meet

	        ABlank (x02220@1)screen TV

Preening ourselves in the snow
		EForget (022100@1)my name
		   D/F#But (200232@1)I'm over you
        ABlended (x02220@1)sunrise

And it's a dying world
		       EHumming (022100@1)Rheingold
			    D/F#We (200232@1)scavenge up our clothes
(Chorus)
	     E (022100@1)      D/F#Cold (200232@1)tired fingers
		 D(no third)    
Tapping out your memories
             E (022100@1)  D/F#Halfway (200232@1)sadness
		 D(no third)
Dazzled by the new
	         AYour (x02220@1)embrace 

Was all that I feared
              EThat (022100@1)whirling room
	       D/F#We (200232@1)trade by vendu

	     ESteely (022100@1)resolve 
         D (xx0232@1)    AIs (x02220@1)falling from me
	    EMy (022100@1)poor soul
	D (xx0232@1)        AAll (x02220@1)bruised passivity
		EAll (022100@1)your regrets
       D (xx0232@1)           ARide (x02220@1)rough-shod over me
       EI'm (022100@1)so glad
            D (xx0232@1)              AThat (x02220@1)we're strangers when we meet
        EI'm (022100@1)so thankful
            D (xx0232@1)              AThat (x02220@1)we're strangers when we meet
        EI'm (022100@1)in clover
                D (xx0232@1)    AThat (x02220@1)we're strangers when we meet
           EHeel (022100@1)head over
             D (xx0232@1)            AAnd (x02220@1)we're strangers when we meet
