Strange Girl

Intro: Em, D, G, C

Em                D  G
You were the deep well
                   C   Em
in earth-and-ocean class
                    D    G
and on the days you showed
                    C    Em
I’d try to make you laugh.
         D          G
Cliques drift and
            C             Em
converge in with a crash
             D              G
And there we were, desk to desk
         C             Em          D  G  C
a young mountain and a strange girl.
           Em          D  G  C
You're a strange girl
Em           D  G  C
strange girl
           Em        D  G  C
You're a strange girl


Em          D         G      C        Em
And then we met again at university
           D          G     C            Em
you said I came to you in a heavy dream.
          D           G                  C              Em
Life in a Glass House, you said was your secret theme.
              D
Sometimes you creep me out
G           C                 Em
have I ever told you you’re a strange girl?
           Em          D  G  C
You're a strange girl
Em           D  G  C
strange girl
           Em        D  G  C
You're a strange girl


Em          D      G    C
Oh we were silver moths
Em       D      G    C
around a naked bulb
Em    D         G         C
on my parents’ porch that night
Em       D  G
it was love
              C
and it kept moving.


Em
I know you oh so well
Em
since we were 15
Em
so well I feel my joints
Em
when your weather’s shifting.
Em
I’ll be your confidante
Em
across the continents.
Em
You may one day be queen
C                               Em            D  G  C
but to me you’ll always be that strange girl.
           Em          D  G  C
You're a strange girl
Em           D  G  C
strange girl
           Em        D  G  C
You're a strange girl


Em
I know you oh so well
Em
since we were 15
Em
so well I feel my joints
Em
when your weather’s shifting.
Em
I’ll be your confidante
Em
across the continents.
Em
You may one day be queen
C                               Em            D  G  C
but to me you’ll always be that strange girl.
