C                       G/B
Two people caught on a string
  Em                       Am
A high-wire act above the center ring
          Dm7      G  Am
While the audience is wondering
         A#           F/A
If we'll make it back

Two people up on a wire
Overhead and under fire
While the audience enquire
If it's just a knack

Chorus:
 F/C  C    F/C            C         C/B  G/B
Strangers, after all, we find we're strangers
C/E
After all this time
C/E    F                     G
We've made the long and the lonely climb
     Am        G           D7/F#
And now we've reached the part
      Dm C/E  Dm/F     G
Where we find we're strangers
           F        C/G      C
We were strangers from the start

Two people caught in the tide
On the edge of love and pride
And both afraid to approach the side
And fall again

Two people playing the part
But which is life and which is art
And isn't it a little late
To start it all again

Chorus - x2
