Capo 5
Verse 1
I was [Em]16 with a [C]rocket
And some [G]sunshine in my pocket
It was [Em]how you used [C]words I didn't [G]know
And the [Em]way you said my [C]name
And cut up [G]peaches and them brown eyes
Lit a [Em]flame that we [C]pretend doesn't [G]glow [D]
Pre-Chorus
You know [Em]space and [C]time [G]wouldn't let you be mine
[C]What I've come to under[D]understand
Is [Em]entro[C]entropy [G]wouldn't leave you to me[D]me
[C]I'm right back where I [D]began
Chorus
In the arms of a [Em]stranger, pre[C]pretending it's [G]love
Holding her [Em]closely, re[C]rememberin' yo[G]your touch
And I'm wrapped around your [Em]finger, even [C]though I'm [G]knocked up
In the arms of a [Em]stranger, pre[C]pretending it's [G]love [D]
Verse 2
There were [Em]times I think a[C]about us
Over[G]Overcome by the nostalgias
I am [Em]on call when you [C]need me, let me [G]know
But we're [Em]drifting in a [C]strange way
I'm [G]aware that it's mistake if I [Em]love you
It's a [C]mistake if I [G]don't
Pre-Chorus
You know [Em]space and [C]time [G]wouldn't let you be mine
[C]What I've come to under[D]understand
Is [Em]entro[C]entropy [G]wouldn't leave you to me[D]me
[C]I'm right back where I [D]began
Chorus
In the arms of a [Em]stranger, pre[C]pretending it's [G]love
Holding her [Em]closely, re[C]rememberin' yo[G]your touch
And I'm wrapped around your [Em]finger, even [C]though I'm [G]knocked up
In the arms of a [Em]stranger, pre[C]pretending it's [G]love
Bridge
And she [D]smelled like [C]Michigan
And it felt like [Em]lust
And the nostalgia's [C]killing me
And it's all be[B]because
Chorus
In the arms of a [Em]stranger, pre[C]pretending it's [G]love
Holding her [Em]closely, re[C]rememberin' yo[G]your touch
And I'm wrapped around your [Em]finger, even [C]though I'm [G]knocked up
In the arms of a [Em]stranger, [C]stranger, [D]stranger
In the arms of a [Em]stranger, pre[C]pretending it's [G]love
Holding her [Em]closely, re[C]rememberin' yo[G]your touch
And I'm wrapped around your [Em]finger, even [C]though I'm [G]knocked up
In the arms of a [Em]stranger, pre[C]pretending it's [G]love
