Stranger In The House

This version is in the key of A. I think the version on the record is in A-flat so if you’d like to stay true to the record either tune down 1/2 step or just write a flat symbol next to each of these chords and play the corresponding barre chords. I think A is easier. [Intro]       [Verse] This never was one of the great romances But I thought you’d always have those young girl’s eyes   But now they look in tired and bitter glances At the ghost of a man who walks ’round in my disguise       I get the feeling that I don’t belong here But there’s no welcome in the window anyway And I look down for a number on my keychain ’Cause it feels more like a hotel everyday [Chorus]   There’s a stranger in the house; nobody’s seen his face But everybody says he’s taken my place    There’s a stranger in the house no one will ever see Everybody says he looks like me        [Verse] And now you say you’ve got no expectations But I know you also miss those carefree days   And for all the angry words that passed between us You still don’t understand me when I say   [Chorus]   There’s a stranger in the house; nobody’s seen his face But everybody says he’s taken my place    There’s a stranger in the house no one will ever see Everybody says he looks like me        Everybody says he looks like me
