Intro 

Am                C          G 
Am                C          G 
F                 G          Am 

verse 1: 
Am                C          G 
If I never had to catch that train 
Am                   C         G 
If nobody would have called my name 
         F                   G         Am          G 
If you'd never, would I have ever find out 

Am                C            G 
You had questions and you knew names 
Am                C         G 
Hidden secrets a-length in change 
           F       G         Am                    G 
Wrapped in circles locked in squares 



Chorus: 
        F              G   Am    G 
I was a stranger in my own skin 
   F      G             Am       G 
7 layers grace and wearing thin 
        F              G   Am    G 
I was a stranger in my own skin 
   F      G             Am        
7 layers I've been hiding in 



verse 2: 
Am                   C        G 
Fathers' eyes and my fathers' smile 
Am                   C       G 
I couldn't tell I was just a child 
         F       G           Am     G 
Missing memories replaced by doubts 

Am                  C     G 
Speaking thoughts into my ears 
Am                    C      G 
told herself what she had to hear 
         F               G            Am           G 
but did she ever think I'd never find out 



Chorus: 
        F              G   Am    G 
I was a stranger in my own skin 
   F      G             Am       G 
7 layers grace and wearing thin 
        F              G   Am    G 
I was a stranger in my own skin 
   F      G             Am        
7 layers I've been hiding in 



Bridge: 
F                  Am 
Spinning round and round in circles 
Em                         F 
Time to light the followup stream 
F                  Am 
Running around in all your secrets 
Em             F 
One by one unraveling 



Chorus: 
        F              G   Am    G 
I was a stranger in my own skin 
   F      G             Am       G 
7 layers grace and wearing thin 
        F              G   Am    G 
I was a stranger in my own skin 
   F      G             Am        
7 layers I've been hiding in 

  
F  Am Em  F F  Am Em  F  
Ooohh ooohh Ooohh ooohh
