  Em    Am         Em      Am
Strange days have found us
  Em     Am        Em         F#
Strange days have tracked us down
         Gm   Cm     Gm Cm
They're going to destroy
     Gm Cm  Gm
Our casual joys
     G           B
We shall go on playing
    A# F       Em
Or find a new town
Yeah!

Strange eyes fill strange rooms
Voices will signal their tired end
The hostess is grinning
Her guests sleep from sinning
Hear me talk of sin
And you know this is it
Yeah!

Strange days have found us
And through their strange hours
We linger alone
Bodies confused
Memories misused
As we run from the day
       A#     F         E
To a strange night of stone
