In The Arms Of A Stranger

      Em        C
I was 16 with a rocket
         G
And some sunshine in my pocket
       Em           C              
It was how you used words I didn't 
G
know
        Em              C
And the way you said my name
           G
And cut up peaches and them brown 
eyes
      Em            C             
Lit a flame that we pretend 
  G         D
doesn't glow


[Pre-Chorus]

         Em        C    G
You know space and time wouldn't let
 you be mine
C                      D
What I've come to understand
   Em   C  G                       D
Is entropy wouldn't leave you to me
C                      D
I'm right back where I began


[Chorus]

                 Em       
In the arms of a stranger, 
    C            G
pretending it's love
            Em         C       
Holding her closely, rememberin' 
    G
your touch
                            Em     
And I'm wrapped around your finger,
      C          G
 even though I'm knocked up
                 Em       
In the arms of a stranger, 
    C            G       D
pretending it's love


[Verse 2]

           Em             C
There were times I think about us
    G
Overcome by the nostalgias
     Em               C           
I am on call when you need me, let
    G
 me know
          Em            C
But we're drifting in a strange way
    G                            
I'm aware that it's mistake if I 
Em
love you
       C            G
It's a mistake if I don't


[Pre-Chorus]

         Em        C    G
You know space and time wouldn't let
 you be mine
C                      D
What I've come to understand
   Em   C  G                       D
Is entropy wouldn't leave you to me
C                      D
I'm right back where I began


[Chorus]

                 Em       
In the arms of a stranger, 
    C            G
pretending it's love
            Em         C       
Holding her closely, rememberin' 
    G
your touch
                            Em     
And I'm wrapped around your finger,
      C          G
 even though I'm knocked up
                 Em       
In the arms of a stranger, 
    C            G
pretending it's love


[Bridge]

        D            C
And she smelled like Michigan
                 Em
And it felt like lust
                    C
And the nostalgia's killing me
               B
And it's all because


[Chorus]

                 Em       
In the arms of a stranger, 
    C            G
pretending it's love
            Em         C       
Holding her closely, rememberin' 
    G
your touch
                            Em     
And I'm wrapped around your finger,
      C          G
 even though I'm knocked up
                 Em        C      
In the arms of a stranger, 
   D
stranger, stranger
                 Em       
In the arms of a stranger, 
    C            G
pretending it's love
            Em         C       
Holding her closely, rememberin' 
    G
your touch
                            Em     
And I'm wrapped around your finger,
      C          G
 even though I'm knocked up
                 Em       
In the arms of a stranger, 
    C            G
pretending it's love
