[Intro]
| C | A | C | A |

[Verse 1]
Bm         E         C#m         F#m
An afternoon of sad affairs,
Bm          C#7         F#m     A7
shared in the hope of mending broken dreams,
D         E/D           C#m              F#m
the constant struggle after simple pleasures,
Bm            E           A       F#
finds us perfect strangers, you and I.

[Pre-Chorus]
Bm         E          C#m                    F#m
You know I hate to see you cry
Bm            C#7               F#m             A7
and through the tears that fall like winter rain.
D             E/D            C#m            F#m
You say you're tired of merely just surviving,
Bm         E
we've so much in common that we're

[Chorus]
C                     D/C
perfect strangers, singing perfectly in tune,
Fm/C                C
from separate corners of the room;
C                    D/C
held together by our hunger to get by
Fm/C            C       A
perfect strangers, you and I.

[Verse 3]
Bm       E           C#m             F#m
Let's make a toast to no regrets,
Bm            C#7            F#m           A7
wet down the painful sting of sweet love lost.
D          E/D           C#m              F#m
Let evening find us whispering in our whiskey,
Bm          E           A       F#
come and sit beside me for a while.

[Pre-Chorus]
Bm        E         C#m       F#m
You know I love to see you smile
Bm        C#7      F#m           A7
and if perhaps you're only passing through.
D          E/D         C#m      F#m
At least we tried to reach an understanding
Bm                     E
and for just one moment we were

[Chorus]
C           D/C
perfect strangers, singing perfectly in tune,
Fm/C                          C
from separate corners of the room;
C                      D/C
held together by our hunger to get by
Fm/C                        C
perfect strangers, you and I.

[End-Chorus]
C                     D/C
perfect strangers, singing perfectly in tune,
Fm/C               C
from separate corners of the room;
C                         D/C
held together by our hunger to get by
Fm/C (C)
perfect strangers, you and I.

[Outro] (Repeat and Fade Out)
