C                     Em        C                     E
Those words are all remainders, echoes growing in the heart of twilight
Gm7           Dm            Gm7   Dm
They lay back laughing at naivety star
C                    Em 
Awaken all those whispers

C                     E
The dusty shadow of a passing favour
Gm7        Dm                Gm7         Dm
I wouldn't say that you were ruthless or right
Gm7        Dm          C
I couldn't see from so far

F                   C
Was I chasing after rainbows? 
              E                                 
One thing for sure you never answered when I 

Am
called

F                    D
And I wiped away the water from my face
   E                          Am        
to look through the eyes of a stranger

    F              Fm             G
For rumours in the wake of such a lonely crowd
D                         Am
trading in my shelter for danger

    F           Fm               G
I'm changing my name just as the sun goes down
       Dsus    D          Am
in the eyes of a stranger 

C                          Em
Can't tell the real from reflection 
C                             E
When all these faces look the same to me
Gm7      Dm          Gm7      Dm
In ev'ry city such a desolate dream
C                        Em
Some days are strange to numbers
C                             E
Some say the seventh sounds a little bit stranger
Gm7       Dm                    Gm7           Dm        
A year of Sundays seems to have drifted right by
Gm7          Dm              C
I could have sworn in one evening

F                          C
And I'm not seized in desperation
           E                            
No steel reproaches on the table from be-

Am
fore

F                          D
But I still can feel those splinters of ice
  E                          Am
I look through the eyes of a stranger

(repeat chorus)

   D                   Am       
...walking away like a stranger
