1. We were strangers at the bar,

A

and they were playing "Wonderwall"

Bm G

I overheard you say you hate this song.

D

Next thing I knew, I'm walkin' over,

A

came and tapped you on your shoulder,

Bm G

said, "My dear, you're not the only one".

D

Spent the night there at my place,

A

that night became a hundred days,

Bm G

and I shared all my deepest secrets with you.

D A

Soon enough, well, I found out you're something I can't live without,

Bm G

and every time I close my eyes I miss you.

D A Bm G D

And I know, I waited all my life just to fall for someone like you,

A Bm G

in the blink of an eye, yeah, it all fell through.

D A

I can't even lie, I'm not doing well,

Bm G

waking up without you, sleeping by myself.

D A

Alone in our room, all your stuff is gone,

Bm G

yeah, I'm standing still here while you're moving on.

D A Bm G

When my world would tear in two, you were who I ran to.

D A

Now I can't even call, or call you my friend,

Bm G D

oh, darling, it's strange 'cause you and I are strangers all over again.

2. Heart's amiss and head's a blaze,

A

the nights become the start of days,

Bm G

and I've been drinking just to get me through.

D A

It's funny how you love someone and when it's over, said and done,

Bm G

it's almost like you never even knew 'em.

D A Bm G D

And I know, I waited all my life just to fall for someone like you,

A Bm G
