YOU COULD KNOW AS MUCH ABOUT A STRANGER

G
Our bodies lay here side by side
C                                      G
But our thoughts have turned the other way
                                C                               G
We make the conversation of two people who have nothing left to say
      C                           D7
We're so accustomed to each other we no longer care or bother
    C              G
And there lies the danger
    C                                D7
You know the style of clothes I wear and you know how I comb my hair
G                     D7            G
But you could know as much about a stranger
 
                     C                              G
I can't remember the last time that I really wanted you
                                C                             G
And we both say nothing's wrong but its here in everything we do
   C                      D7
So we get up from our bed leaving many things unsaid
     C              G
And there lies the danger
C                                   D7
Many of my words you don't hear and you seldom notice if I'm near
G                     D7           G
But you could know as much about a stranger
 
C                               D7
What went wrong I can't name it find the fault I can't blame it 
C          G
On any one thing
C                                D7
We're so used to things this way tomorrow's just like yesterday
    C              G
And there lies the danger
    C                         D7
You know the color of my eyes you know the things that I despise
G                     D7           G
But you could know as much about a stranger
