A All my friends Now seem so thin and frail E Slinky secrets D/F# Hotter than the sun A No peachy prayers No trendy rechauffe E I'm with you D/F# So I can't go on Chorus: E All my violence D A Raining tears upon the sheet E I'm bewildered D A For we're strangers when we meet Blank screen TV Preening ourselves in the snow Forget my name But I'm over you Blended sunrise And it's a dying world Humming Rheingold We scavenge up our clothes Chorus E D/F# Cold tired fingers D Tapping out your memories E D/F# Halfway sadness D Dazzled by the new A Your embrace Was all that I feared E That whirling room D/F# We trade by vendu E Steely resolve D A Is falling from me E My poor soul D A All bruised passivity E All your regrets D A Ride rough-shod over me E I'm so glad D A That we're strangers when we meet E I'm so thankful D A That we're strangers when we meet E I'm in clover D A That we're strangers when we meet E Heel head over D A And we're strangers when we meet You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA ![]() D ![]() E ![]() F# ![]() Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
