INTRO:

F#m	         C#m	          E
  Take me back   into your arms   where I belong,
		    A		C#m	Dsus2      E
  There I'm no stranger

VERSE1:

A		C#m(7)		      F#m                  D
  Crossing this country, I’m stalling     I’m coming down
A          C#m(7)            F#m                    D
  Over my head,  I’m falling      Will I be found?
C#m                F#m      D        C#m  
  I’ve had to be a million places at once
	     A
  That’s not me


CHORUS:
A                C#m             
  I’m a stranger     on the outside
D                     E
  When I’m not right    next to you
A            C#m
  I remember     how to get there
D                            E
  Will you be there when I’m coming through?


VERSE2:
A               C#m(7)             F#m                  D
  Crossing this room to my lovely,     my saving grace
A              C#m(7)              F#m                      D
  Promise that time hasn’t lost me     and don’t turn away
C#m                F#m     D        C#m
  I’ve had to be a million faces at once
             C#m
  That’s not me
             A
  That’s not me


[REPEAT CHORUS]

                                    A	   Bm11    C#m     Dsus2

BRIDGE:

F#m              C#m
  The mirror has broken
               D
  What do you see?
               E                    F#m
  A million of you and a million of me
                 C#m
  The future’s unspoken
             D
  Who do you see?
                 E
  The one on the outside
             A
  That’s not me


[REPEAT CHORUS]

        A               C#m              D            E 
  I’m a stranger on the outside when I’m not right next to you
        A               C#m              D            E
  I’m a stranger on the outside when I’m not right next to you
        A                   C#m
  I’m a lonely man walking, searching for my home
  D                               E            
  Been a thousand years and her I am I’m all alone
          A                      C#m
  I’m out looking for my lovely one to save the day
   D                  E               
  Here I come, I’m no stranger today

Outro:
A    C#m   D    E (x3)
A



Just listen to song to get strumming - its pretty easy and consistent 
throughout.  All of the C#m's can be played with the high E open or 4th fret.
The sevenths are optional during the verses.  Good luck and enjoy!!
