Intro 1

Verse 1
G 
The world slows down,
A 
you check your watch
C 
and you pretend you're fine
G 
A 
Your mind speeds up,
C 
tell yourself it's just a matter of time
G 
Am 
With the turn of an arm,
C 
everything you know turns upside down
G 
A 
The best laid plans fall to pieces
C 
as they shatter on the ground
Em 
Your heart is slowly sinking
G 
C 
Like an anchor or a casket
A 
Em 
Or a plane that's lost its  wings
G 
You struggle for some reason
A 
C 
But your mind can't grasp a single thing
G 
A 
C 
Sitting with a stranger in the room
G 
A 
C 
It's like sitting with a stranger

G 
First comes fear, then the an ger,
C 
then the watch back
G 
You laugh through tears
A 
and take a snapshot
C 
of the things you used to know so well
Em 
Your body's slowly changing,
G 
C 
like it's dying, or not living
Am 
A 
Em 
But you simply soldier on
G 
Looking for the linings
Am 
made of fool's gold
C 
G 
But your judgement's all but gone
A 
C 
Sitting with a stranger in the room
G 
A 
It's like sitting with a stranger
C 
In the room
A 
C 
And no one can love the life they have
D 
A 
Till they nearly lose it all
C 
And no one should ever stand alone
D 
C 
G 
Am 
C 
When they fall like sitting
G 
A 
C 
with a stranger
it's like sitting with a
G 
C 
stranger in the room
G 
Like dancing with an elephant
or sleeping in a graveyard
A 
C 
Is it time to leave this life so soon?
G 
A 
C 
It's like sitting with a stranger

Like sitting with a stranger
G 
It's like laughing with a stranger

Dancing with an old friend

Taking flowers to the graveyard
