Em        C
I was 16 with a rocket
         G
And some sunshine in my pocket
       Em           C              G
It was how you used words I didn't know
        Em              C
And the way you said my name
           G            
And cut up peaches and them brown eyes
      Em            C               G         D
Lit a flame that we pretend 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           C            G
In the arms of a stranger, pretending it's love
            Em         C           G
Holding her closely, rememberin' your touch
                            Em           C          G
And I'm wrapped around your finger, even though I'm knocked up
                 Em           C            G       D
In the arms of a stranger, pretending it's love


[Verse 2]

           Em             C   
There were times I think about us
    G
Overcome by the nostalgias
     Em               C               G
I am on call when you need me, let me know
          Em            C
But we're drifting in a strange way
    G                            Em
I'm aware that it's mistake if I 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           C            G
In the arms of a stranger, pretending it's love
            Em         C           G
Holding her closely, rememberin' your touch
                            Em           C          G
And I'm wrapped around your finger, even though I'm knocked up
                 Em           C            G       
In the arms of a stranger, 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           C            G
In the arms of a stranger, pretending it's love
            Em         C           G
Holding her closely, rememberin' your touch
                            Em           C          G
And I'm wrapped around your finger, even though I'm knocked up
                 Em        C         D
In the arms of a stranger, stranger, stranger
                 Em           C            G
In the arms of a stranger, pretending it's love
            Em         C           G
Holding her closely, rememberin' your touch
                            Em           C          G
And I'm wrapped around your finger, even though I'm knocked up
                 Em           C            G       
In the arms of a stranger, pretending it's love
