Em7                 Em7
Oh, you're not the same
Em7                     Em7
gone home back to your land
Em7               Em7
now you hear me cry
Em7             Em7
oh, who's that walkin'
Em7            Em7
along by your side
Em7                  Em7    Em7
I see him near your side
     A
why did you change?
              G
is there a stranger in my heart

to your everyday life

oh, baby sister
why did you show that face
that tears me up inside
why did you change?
was there a stranger in my heart

Oh, and now I'm leaving
I'll go to that mountainside
Lord, you'll hear me cry
oh, the night is black with rain
I must leave, leave your town
oh God, you'll hear me cry
why did you change?
is there a stranger in my heart

instrumental = 4x intro
