Take me back into your arms where I belong,
A C#m Dsus2 E
There I'm no stranger

VERSE1:

A C#m(7) F#m D
Crossing this country, I’m stalling I’m coming down
A C#m(7) F#m D
Over my head, I’m falling Will I be found?
C#m F#m D C#m
I’ve had to be a million places at once
A
That’s not me


CHORUS:
A C#m
I’m a stranger on the outside
D E
When I’m not right next to you
A C#m
I remember how to get there
D E
Will you be there when I’m coming through?


VERSE2:
A C#m(7) F#m D
Crossing this room to my lovely, my saving grace
A C#m(7) F#m D
Promise that time hasn’t lost me and don’t turn away

I’ve had to be a million faces at once
C#m
That’s not me

That’s not me

BRIDGE:

F#m C#m
The mirror has broken
D
What do you see?

A million of you and a million of me
C#m
The future’s unspoken
D
Who do you see?
E
The one on the outside
A
That’s not me


[REPEAT CHORUS]

A C#m D E
I’m a stranger on the outside when I’m not right next to you
A C#m D E
I’m a stranger on the outside when I’m not right next to you
A C#m
I’m a lonely man walking, searching for my home
D E
Been a thousand years and her I am I’m all alone
A C#m
I’m out looking for my lovely one to save the day
D E
Here I come, I’m no stranger today

Outro:
A C#m D E (x3)
A



Just listen to song to get strumming - its pretty easy and consistent
throughout. All of the C#m's can be played with the high E open or 4th fret.
The sevenths are optional during the verses. Good luck and enjoy!!
