Lyrics

There’s a (Dm)si lence here be tween us

I’ve nev er heard be fore.

And when And (Dm)I can’t find al the love

in her eyes too an y more.

There’s some (Gm9)chang es y go ing on

I’m be (Dm7)gin ning to un der stand.

When I’m (Gm9)hold ing her, I swear I feel while she’s the (A5)pres ence of an oth er man.

(CN.C.)There’s a (Dm)stran ger in my house,

(Am7)some bod y here that I can’t see.

A (Dm)stran ger in my house,

(Am7)some bod y here try ing to (A5)take her a way from me.

She’s just (Dm)star ing out the win dow,

a bil lion miles a way.

And when I (Dm)ask if she’s al the right,

she nev er too much to say.

Is it (Gm9)some bod y we both know,

I’m or (Dm7)some bod y she just met?

Is she (Gm9)lov ing him I in her mind while she’s the (A5)ly ing here an in my bed?

(CN.C.)There’s a (Dm)stran ger in my house,

(Am7)some bod y here that I can’t see.

A (Dm)stran ger in my house,

(Am7)some bod y here try ing to (A5)take her a way from me.

She’s just (A5)take her a way from me.

Sus (Bbmaj7)pi cions lead to ques tions,

and (Dm)ques tions to al i bis.

Is it (Bbmaj7)just my im ag i na tion, or has her (Asus)love turned in to lies?

(CN.C.)There’s a (Dm)stran ger in my house,

(Am7)some bod y here that I can’t see.

A (Dm)stran ger in my house,

(Am7)some bod y here try’n’ to (A5)take her a way.

A (Dm)stran ger in my house,

(Am7)some bod y here that I can’t see.

A (Dm)stran ger in my house,

(Am7)some bod y here try’n’ to (A5)take her a way.

A (Am7)some bod y here try ing to (A5)take her a way from (Dm)me.
