Strangers When We Meet
By David Bowie
A
All my friends
Now seem so thin and frail
E
Slinky secrets
D/F#
Hotter than the sun
A
No peachy prayers
No trendy rechauffe
E
I'm with you
D/F#
So I can't go on
Chorus:
E
All my violence
D A
Raining tears upon the sheet
E
I'm bewildered/resentful
D A
For we're strangers when we meet
A
Blank screen TV
Preening ourselves in the snow
E
Forget my name
D/F#
But I'm over you
A
Blended sunrise
And it's a dying world
E
Humming Rheingold
D/F#
We scavenge up our clothes
(Chorus)
E D/F#
Cold tired fingers
D(no third)
Tapping out your memories
E D/F#
Halfway sadness
D(no third)
Dazzled by the new
A
Your embrace
Was all that I feared
E
That whirling room
D/F#
We trade by vendu
E
Steely resolve
D A
Is falling from me
E
My poor soul
D A
All bruised passivity
E
All your regrets
D A
Ride rough-shod over me
E
I'm so glad
D A
That we're strangers when we meet
E
I'm so thankful
D A
That we're strangers when we meet
E
I'm in clover
D A
That we're strangers when we meet
E
Heel head over
D A
And we're strangers when we meet
