Fm         C#                 G#              D#
Oh, in the strangest dreams, walking by your side
Fm        C#              G#              D#
It is the hole that you impose upon your life
Fm                C#              G#                D#
When you're out, loneliness, it crawls up in the ground
Fm             C#               G#             D#
It's what you feel, but can't articulate out loud

Chorus:
        C#                   G#
Oh, you go to sleep on your own
        Fm                      D#
And you wake each day with your thoughts
        C#                G#
And it scares you being alone
             Fm D#
It's a last resort

All you want is someone onto whom you can cling
Your mother warned of strangers and the dangers they may bring
Your dreams and memories are blurring into one
The scenes which hold the waking world slowly come undone
You'll come undone...

Chorus - x2

Fm              C#
Don't talk to strangers,
Fm                   C#
And don't walk into danger
Fm              C#
Don't talk to strangers,
Fm                   C#
And don't walk into danger - x2

Chorus - x2

Don't talk
To strangers...

Chorus
