Intro

 WHISTLE:

 ELECTRIC:

 Well we all have a face

 That we hide away forever

 And we take them out and show ourselves

 When everyone has gone

 Some are satin some are steel

 Some are silk and some are leather

 They're the faces of the stranger

 But we love to try them on

 Well we all fall in love

 But we disregard the danger

 Though we share so many secrets

 There are some we never tell

 Why were you so surprised

 That you never saw the stranger

 Did you ever let your lover see

 The stranger in yourself?

Don't be a[Bb#5]fraid to try again

Everyone goes south every now and then, oh oh

You've done it, [Bb#5]why can't someone else?

You should know by now [Bb#5]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

 Well we all fall in love

 But we disregard the danger

 Though we share so many secrets

 There are some we never tell

 Why were you so surprised

 That you never saw the stranger

 Did you ever let your lover see

 The stranger in yourself?

Don't be a[Bb#5]fraid to try again

Everyone goes south every now and then, oh oh

You've done it, [Bb#5]why can't someone else?

You should know by now [Bb#5]you've been there yourself

 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
