Selection chords: Katie Paterson

Intro: C

Verse:
C
We were strangers at the bar
G
They were playing "Wonderwall"
  Am                              F
I overheard you say you hate this song
C
Next thing I knew, Iʼm walkinʼ over
G
Came and tapped you on your shoulder
Am                                      F
Said, "My dear, youʼre not the only one"
C
Spent the night there at my place
     G
That night became a hundred days
    Am                              F
And I shared all my deepest secrets with you
C                                     G
Soon enough, well, I found out youʼre something I canʼt live without
    Am                           F
And every time I close my eyes I miss you

Pre-chorus:
      C       G                          Am       F            C
And I know, I waited all my life just to fall for someone like you
       G                         Am               F
In the blink of an eye, yeah, it all fell through

Chorus:
             C                  G
I canʼt even lie, Iʼm not doing well
              Am                     F
Waking up without you, sleeping by myself
             C                       G
Alone in our room, all your stuff is gone
                   Am                             F
Yeah, Iʼm standing still here while youʼre moving on
                    C          G              Am       F
When my world would tear in two, you were who I ran to
                 C                    G
Now I canʼt even call, or call you my friend
                 Am                           F                       C G Am F
Oh darling, itʼs strange ʼcause you and I are strangers all over again

Verse:
C
Heartʼs amiss and headʼs a blaze
    G
The nights become the start of days
    Am                                F
And Iʼve been drinking just to get me through
     C                              G
Itʼs funny how you love someone and when itʼs over, said and done
     Am                         F
Itʼs almost like you never even knew ʼem

Pre-chorus:
      C       G                          Am       F            C
And I know, I waited all my life just to fall for someone like you
       G                         Am               F
In the blink of an eye, yeah, it all fell through

Chorus:
             C                  G
I canʼt even lie, Iʼm not doing well
              Am                     F
Waking up without you, sleeping by myself
             C                       G
Alone in our room, all your stuff is gone
                   Am                             F
Yeah, Iʼm standing still here while youʼre moving on
                    C          G              Am       F
When my world would tear in two, you were who I ran to
                 C                    G
Now I canʼt even call, or call you my friend
                 Am                           F                   C G Am F
Oh darling, itʼs strange ʼcause you and I are strangers all over again

Post-chorus:
          C G Am F
All over again

Bridge:
      C             G                           Am
Now I know, Iʼll be waiting all my life for someone like you

Chorus:
             C                  G
I canʼt even lie, Iʼm not doing well
              Am                     F
Waking up without you, sleeping by myself
             C                       G
Alone in our room, all your stuff is gone
                   Am                             F
Yeah, Iʼm standing still here while youʼre moving on
                    C          G              Am       F
When my world would tear in two, you were who I ran to
                 C                    G
Now I canʼt even call, or call you my friend
                 Am                           F
Oh darling, itʼs strange ʼcause you and I are strangers all over again
