[Verse 1]
This is a [C]strange af[D]fair
[C]The time has come to travel and
The road is filled [Cm]with fear[C]
This is [Cm]a strange af[D]fair[C]
My youth has all been wasted and
I'm [D]bent [C]and grey with years
And [Gm]all of [C]my companions
are now taken away
And who will provide for me
against my dying day?
I took my own provisions
But they fooled [D]me and [C]wasted [Gm]away[C]

[Verse 2]
[D]Oh, [C]where are my [D]companions?
[C]My mother, father, lover,
friend and enemy
Where [Cm]are my com[C]panions?
[D][C]
They're prisoners of [D]death now [C]and
They're taken far from me
And where are the dreams
I dreamed in the days of my youth?
[Ab]They took [Cm]me to il[C]lusion
When they promised me the truth
And what do sleepers need
to make them [D]listen?
[C]Why do they need mor[Gm]e pro[C]of?
[Gm]Won't you [D]give[C] me

[Verse 3]
[D]an answer?[C]
[E]Why is your [C]heart so [D]hard against [C]the one
Who loves you best?
[Gm]When the [D]one [C]with the [D]answer[C]
[D]Has wakened you, an[C]d warned you
And brought you to the test
[Gm]And wake up from[C] the sleep
That plays like clouds upon your eyes
And win back the life you had lived
Before [C]this dream of lies
Turn [C]your back on your[Cm]self [C]and if
you [E]follow [C]through
[Cm]You'll win [C]the lover's prize
This [C]is [D]a strange, [Cm]a str[C]an[D]ge[C]
affair
