 A          Bm     D            A
Lover, I remember laying out a map
   F#m           Bm              E
Throwing our possessions in the van
      A                  Bm
Your tapes piled on the backseat
       D              A
And a camera in your hand
  F#m              Bm             E    A
Dressed for our arrival in the Strangeland

Chorus:
   F#m        A
Strangeland blind
            D
You got no reason
             E
You got no rhyme
            F#m                Bm
You get no time to put things right
               F#m
To put things right

We drove across the border as
the winter rains ran dry
And only fateful birdsong filled the sky
You threw your head back screaming
As we raced across wet sand
And leapt into the waters of the strangeland

Chorus

You wound the rope around me
And you pulled the knots in tight
And shook me like a bad dream from your sight
And now the things I've done to forget you
Well, it's not what I had planned
The sweetest thoughts get twisted in the strangeland

Chorus:
   F#m        A
Strangeland blind
             D
You got no reason
             E
You got no rhyme
            F#m                Bm
You get no time to put things right

To put things
   F#m        A
Strangeland dreams
             D              E
You tore my baby away from me
           F#m                Bm
We get no time to put things right
               F#m
To put things right
            F#m                Bm
You get no time to put things right
               F#m
To put things right
               Bm
To put things right
               F#m
To put things right
