[Intro]

[Verse]
 
Em
We don't talk much
C                      Em
We don't make love like we used to
C
And I stay guarded
         Em
I've got walls and triggers
        C
I never thought I had and so do you
   Em
But this is love
               C
And that's the way we seem content to play it
C
I touch your clothes when you're gone
                      Em
I let your scent wash over me
C
You cry at night and you wish just like a child
             B
That we were how we used to be
 
 
[Chorus]
 
          Em
There's a Stranger In The House
C            Am
In the house
          Em
There's a Stranger In The House
C            Am
In the house
          Em
There's a Stranger In The House
C            Am
In the house
        Bm             C           D
And she looks like somebody from a lifetime ago

[Verse 2]
 
Em             C
I stonewall you you stonewall me
    Em
But we both know that
C
Hiding deep inside us
Em                         C
Lives the love that we try hard to lose and never will
   Em
But this is war
               C
And that's the way we seem content to fight it
C
I get so angry and confused 'cause
                      Em
I want out but I want you
C
You can't decide between moving out or moving in
B
You don't know what to do
 
 
[Chorus 2]
 
          Em
There's a Stranger In The House
C            Am
In the house
          Em
There's a Stranger In The House
C            Am
In the house
          Em
There's a Stranger In The House
C            Am
In the house
        Bm         C          D
And she looks like you and he looks like me

[Verse 3]
 
Em                    C                 Em
Is this the same girl that, I fought so hard to win
C
And now I fight to lose her
Em                             C
Now I feel that it's just like skin to skin and nerve to nerve
Em
Strung out like wire
            C
Is that the way we are content to live
C
We face off in anger
                          EDm
In rooms once filled with love
C
Looking for a chink in the armour where we can stab the blade
B
What are we thinking of
