C                                       Em
I can't trust anyone or anything these days
        G                                      C
If you are who you say you are then show your face
C                                             Em
Came out of the ocean like you came out of a dream
       G
Your voice it sounds familiar but
                       C
you are not what you seem
C                                              Em
All your words of comfort cannot take away my doubt
        G
I've decided if it kills me I'll
                       C
find out what you're about
C
I can't trust anyone or anything these days

Chorus:
G                    C         D Em
But I know what you want and why
G             Bm                   C
Of all the strangers you're the strangest that
      Em  D
I've seen
G          C       D  Em
I'm not afraid to die
G               Bm                 C     Em  D
I can't trust anyone or anything these days
 G       Bm      C        D      Em G Bm C Em D
You were not the one you say you are
 G       Bm      C        D      Em G Bm C Em D
You were not the one you say you are

I can't trust anyone or anything these days
If you are who you say you are,
then show me your face
Know enough to say you are not what you claim to be
I've kept close watch upon you and
I don't like what I see

Can't escape the feeling that you'll
get me in the night
I'll sleep with one eye open,
and I'm not afraid to fight
I can't trust anyone or anything these days
But I know what you want and why

Chorus:
Of all the strangers you're the strangest
that I've seen
I'm not afraid to die
I can't trust anyone or anything these days
Know what you want and why

Of all the strangers your the strangest
that I've seen
I'm not afraid to die
I can't trust anyone no anything these days

You are not the one you say you are - x 4

Now that I've seen your face I'm haunted
by the letters of your name - x11
