[Verse 1]

C# F#
Can you tell me something real?
C# F#
What am I supposed to feel?
C# F#
When I'm drivin' sun is shinin'
C# F#                 bend F
Melancholy nostalgia is on my mind but


(Break 1)

G# A#                     C# F#
I don't know why I always think of how it used to be
G# A#                     C# F#
Time goes by and now I'm coming up empty


[Chorus 1]

C#
I used to say that i never met a stranger
F#
But I guess I had to sooner or later
A#m                   G#                     F#
Every familiar face was a phone call away But ya can't go back to those days
C#
I don't hate it but I'm just gettin' older
F#
Can't help it that my hearts gettin' colder But I'm not getting
A#m            G#                     F#
closer to the times that changed ya Back when I never met a stranger

C# F#
C# F#   bend F


[Verse 2]

C# F#
Smaller circles, closin' in
C# F#
always hurts but it's just how it is
C# F#
All of our pain, we're bound to relive
C# F#
Serotonin you know that it's hard to find it



[Chorus 2]

C#
I used to say that I never met a stranger
F#
But I guess I had to sooner or later
A#m                   G#                     F#
Every familiar face was a phone call away But you can't go back to those days
C#
I don't hate it but I'm just gettin' older
F#
I Can't help it that my hearts gettin' colder But I'm not getting
A#m           G#                     F#
closer to the times that changed ya Back when I never met a stranger

[Chorus 3]

C#
I used to say that I never met a stranger
F#
But I guess I had to sooner or later
A#m                   G#                     F#
