When Strangers Kiss (Words & Music by Chris Stanley)

Verse 1

Chords: G – Bm – C – D

Another tired evening, another day that lasts too long

I order up a cold one and then it’s gone

I ask about the weekend but the guys have all made plans

Guess I’ll be on the sofa watching the ceiling fan

Chorus

Chords: G – B7 – C – D7

I saw her through the window walking home

I catch her eye and then she’s gone

I wonder if it’s ever worth the risk when strangers kiss

I left the bottle on the bar, left the guys talking about their cars

There must be more to life than this

When strangers kiss

Verse 2

Rain falling on the sidewalk, I left my hat on that barstool

Now I’m tugging on my collar, looking like a fool

And no one ever misses me, no one calls me on the phone

Midnight at the station, I’m going home alone

Chorus 2

And I was only waiting on the train when I saw her standing in the rain

Was it chance that led me here to this?

When strangers kiss

I was going to offer her my coat

She turned around and now I know nothing in this world compares to this

When strangers kiss

Middle

Em – D – C – C

And I don’t even know her name

And I’m not the kind to take a leap of faith

And I’m so scared of what comes next

                B7

Were we waiting on the last train home or searching for a reason not to go?

Em – D – C – C (x2)

Chorus 3

And I was only waiting on the train when I saw her standing in the rain

Was it chance that led me here to this?

When strangers kiss

This might be the only thing we share, we missed the train but I don’t care

Nothing in this world compares to this

When strangers kiss

Em – D – C – C (x2)
