C  G/B  Am  Dm C/E  F G  F/G

[Verse 1]
C                      G/B
Two people caught on a string
Em                         Am
A high-wire act above the center ring
          Dm7      G  Am
While the audience is wondering
         Bb           F/A
If we'll make it back

C                  G/B
Two people up on a wire
Em           Am
Overhead and under fire
          Dm7      G Am
While the audience enquire
        Bb           F/A
If it's just a knack

[Chorus]
F/C  C     F/C           C          C/B  G/B
Strangers, after all, we find we're strangers
C/E
After all this time
C/E   F                     G
We've made the long and the lonely climb
    Am        G           D7/F#
And now we've reached the part
      Dm C/E  Dm/F  G
Where we find we're strangers
        F         C/G      C
We were strangers from the start

C  G/B  Am              C/G
Dm C/E  F       G       F/G

[Verse 2]
C                        G/B
Two people caught in the tide
Em             Am
On the edge of love and pride
    Dm7         G    Am
And both afraid to approach the side
    Bb         F/A
And fall again

C                      G/B
Two people playing the part
Em                    Am
But which is life and which is art
    Dm7        G      Am
And isn't it a little late
            Bb        F/A
To start it all again

[Chorus]
F/C  C     F/C           C          C/B  G/B
Strangers, after all, we find we're strangers
C/E
After all this time
C/E   F                     G
We've made the long and the lonely climb
    Am        G           D7/F#
And now we've reached the part
      Dm C/E  Dm/F  G
Where we find we're strangers
        F         C/G      C
We were strangers from the start
C  G/B  Am              C/G

[Outro]
F/C  C     F/C           C          C/B  G/B
Strangers, after all, we find we're strangers
C/E
After all this time
C/E   F                     G
We've made the long and the lonely climb
    Am        G           D7/F#
And now we've reached the part
      Dm C/E  Dm/F  G
Where we find we're strangers
        F         C/G      C
We were strangers from the start
C  G/B  Am              C/G
