Strum
D-DU-UDU
 Take me back into  your arms where  I belong,
  There I'm no stranger
 Crossing this country,  I’m stalling  I’m coming down
 Over my head,  I’m falling  Will I be found?
 I’ve had to be a million  places  at once
  That’s not me
 I’m a stranger  on the outside
 When I’m not right  next to you
 I remember  how to get there
 Will you be there when I’m coming  through?
 Crossing this room  to my lovely,  my saving grace
 Promise that time  hasn’t lost me  and don’t turn away
 I’ve had to be a million faces  at once
  That’s not me
  That’s not me
 Take me back into  your arms where  I belong
  There I’m no stranger to you
 The mirror has broken
  What do you see?
  A million of you  and a million of me
  The future’s unspoken
  Who do you see?
  The one on the outside
  That’s not me
  I’m a stranger  on the outside  when I’m not  right next  to you
  I’m a stranger  on the outside  when I’m not  right next  to you
  I’m a lonely  man walking, searching  for my home
  Been  a thousand years and her I am  I’m all alone
  I’m out looking  for my lovely one  to save the day
  Here  I come, I’m no stranger  today
 Just listen to song to get strumming - its pretty easy and consistent
 throughout. All of the Cm's can be played with the high E open or 4th fret.
 The sevenths are optional during the verses. Good luck and enjoy!!
