The Seventh Stranger

C            Em       C             E
Those words are all remainders, echoes growing in the heart of twilight
Gm7        Dm         Gm7    Dm
They lay back laughing at naivety star
C             Em
Awaken all those whispers

C            E
The dusty shadow of a passing favour
Gm7        Dm           Gm7        Dm
I wouldn't say that you were ruthless or right
Gm7        Dm        C
I couldn't see from so far

F           C
Was I chasing after rainbows?
        E
One thing for sure you never answered when I

Am
called

F            D
And I wiped away the water from my face
  E                 Am
to look through the eyes of a stranger

  F         Fm         G
For rumours in the wake of such a lonely crowd
D                Am
trading in my shelter for danger

   F      Fm         G
I'm changing my name just as the sun goes down
     Dsus   D        Am
in the eyes of a stranger

C                    Em
Can't tell the real from reflection
C                  E
When all these faces look the same to me
Gm7       Dm        Gm7      Dm
In ev'ry city such a desolate dream
C              Em
Some days are strange to numbers
C                E
Some say the seventh sounds a little bit stranger
Gm7       Dm           Gm7          Dm
A year of Sundays seems to have drifted right by
Gm7        Dm          C
I could have sworn in one evening

F                C
And I'm not seized in desperation
      E
No steel reproaches on the table from be-

Am
fore

F                    D
But I still can feel those splinters of ice
  E                 Am
I look through the eyes of a stranger

(repeat chorus)

   D           Am
...walking away like a stranger
