The Stranger Chords & Lyrics - Melissa Ferrick

[Am] c [G] x2

[VERSE]
[Am]Waiting wanting
[C]To see you in my [G]eyes
[Am]Finding feelings
[C]That I thought were buried[G] inside

[VERSE]
[Am]Because I never though that I
[C]Could ever love like [G]this
[Am]But you have
[C]Proven me wrong

[CHORUS]
[Am]You the stranger who [C]took a chance
[G]Held me at a distance so I could see myself
[Am]So thank you for everything you [C]gave without knowing
And [G]thank you for letting me fall in love
Without with[Am]holding [C] [G]
Without with[Am]holding [C] [G]

[VERSE]
[Am]So let me in now
I [C]am ready to move
[G]And here comes fear and resistance from you
And for [Am]once I am willing and [C]now what i've got to [G]wait?

[VERSE]
[Am]These lessons are everywhere [C]in my life
You know I [G]never waited for anyone and I was always right
But ya [Am]now I give up [C]I surrender
[G]I would wait for you...for[Am]ever [C] [G]

[CHORUS]
[Am]You the stranger who [C]took a chance
[G]Held me at a distance so I could see myself
So [Am]thank you for everything you [C]gave without knowing
And [G]thank you for letting me fall in love with you
Without with[Am]holding [C] [G]
Without with[Am]holding [C] [G]

[VERSE]
So [Am]come on and test me
[C]Go on and try it
Because [G]I know that I fit perfectly inside you
And to [Am]deny this love would be to [C]deny your heart
And [G]you're going be the one who breaks it
Baby if you [Am]choose to walk [C] [G]

[CHORUS]
[Am]You the stranger who [C]took a chance
[G]Held me at a distance so I could see myself
[Am]So thank you for everything you [C]gave without knowing
And [G]thank you for letting me fall in love
[Am]You the stranger who [C]took a chance
[G]Held me at a distance so I could see myself
So [Am]thank you for everything you [C]gave without knowing
And [G]thank you for letting me fall in love
Without with[Am]holding [C] [G]
Without with[Am]holding [C] [G]

[Am] [C] [G] x2
End on Am
