A
All my friends

Now seem so thin and frail
       E
Slinky secrets
          D/F#
Hotter than the sun
          A
No peachy prayers

No trendy rechauffe
           E
I'm with you
             D/F#
So I can't go on

Chorus:
           E
All my violence
      D              A
Raining tears upon the sheet
       E
I'm bewildered/resentful
          D              A
For we're strangers when we meet

          A
Blank screen TV

Preening ourselves in the snow
         E
Forget my name
            D/F#
But I'm over you
    A
Blended sunrise

And it's a dying world
           E
Humming Rheingold
               D/F#
We scavenge up our clothes
(Chorus)
         E      D/F#
Cold tired fingers
          D (no third)
Tapping out your memories
       E   D/F#
Halfway sadness
          D (no third)
Dazzled by the new
         A
Your embrace 

Was all that I feared
        E
That whirling room
        D/F#
We trade by vendu

        E
Steely resolve 
        D     A
Is falling from me
      E
My poor soul
      D          A
All bruised passivity
           E
All your regrets
    D        A
Ride rough-shod over me
     E
I'm so glad
       D           A
That we're strangers when we meet
     E
I'm so thankful
       D           A
That we're strangers when we meet
      E
I'm in clover
          D            A
That we're strangers when we meet
      E
Heel head over
       D          A
And we're strangers when we meet
