B F#

It was a day like today,
Abm E
a sunday afternoon when they took you away
B F# Eb
down to Hades in a shopping trolley
E
with a magazine and a suitcase
B F#
They stole your clothes
Abm
i took your watch
E
i couldnt look you in the eye
B F# E E
why its always those who you love the most you criticise


Chorus

B F# Abm E
Oh no stranger your just like me,
B F# Abm E
these things happen we were children in the mid 90's
B F# Abm E
Oh no stranger your just like me,
B F# Abm E
we get older they get younger it was you or me

Verse 2
B F# Abm E
We stood there throwing ice cream in your hair how i solemly swear
B F# Eb (6th) E (7th)
its the thing in life i regret the most... leaving you standing there
B F# Abm
And if you asked me id pull my eyes out
E
and when i woke up blind
B F# Eb (6th)
if you forgave i would sleep at night
E (7th)
knowing i'd led a good life.


Chorus

B F# Abm E
Oh no stranger your just like me,
B F# Abm E

B F# Abm E
Oh no stranger your just like me,
B F# Abm E
we get older they get younger it was you or me
