Elvis Costello – Stranger In The House chords

[Intro]
A E  A D  A E

[Verse]
E    A     D   A                A7 DThis never was one of the great romances
      E                                            A     EBut I thought you'd always have those young girl's eyes
    A        D       A         A7     DBut now they look in tired and bitter glances
       A                       E                A      D A EAt the ghost of a man who walks 'round in my disguise

  A       D       A            A7 DI get the feeling that I don't belong here
               E                        A   EBut there's no welcome in the window anyway
      A         D     A      A7    DAnd I look down for a number on my keychain
          A                   E        A   D'Cause it feels more like a hotel everyday

[Chorus]
A E         A                               D  There's a stranger in the house; nobody's seen his face
    E                            A       EBut everybody says he's taken my place
          A                                 DThere's a stranger in the house no one will ever see
E                            A  D  A  EEverybody says he looks like me

[Verse]
    A       D          A        A7  DAnd now you say you've got no expectations
      E                                 A     EBut I know you also miss those carefree days
        A       D     A          A7       DAnd for all the angry words that passed between us
    A                      E         A    DYou still don't understand me when I say

[Chorus]
A E         A                               D  There's a stranger in the house; nobody's seen his face
    E                            A       EBut everybody says he's taken my place
          A                                 DThere's a stranger in the house no one will ever see
E                            A  D  A  EEverybody says he looks like me
E                            A  D  AEverybody says he looks like me
