But I thought you'd always have those young girl's eyes

But now they look in tired and bitter glances
A E A D A E
At the ghost of a man who walks 'round in my disguise
A D A A7 D
I get the feeling that I don't belong here

But there's no welcome in the window anyway
A D A A7 D
And 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

But everybody says he's taken my place

There's a stranger in the house no one will ever see
E A D A E
Everybody says he looks like me
Verse

And now you say you've got no expectations

But I know you also miss those carefree days

And for all the angry words that passed between us

You still don't understand me when I say
