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
