The Kindness of Strangers Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]He w[G]as[C][Am][Gsus4][C]
[Am]nervous and
ex[G]cited when he walked [C]in :
[Am]She poured him a drink an' they dis
[G]cussed the price [F]of sin.
She had un[Am]buttoned just
two but[G]tons,
An' put her [C]hand upon his thigh,
[F]An' when that [Am]grown
man started cry[G]in',
[Gsus4]She did not b[C]link an' eye.

[Verse 2]
[F]She jus[Am]t held him in her[G] arms
like a little [C]child,
An' she laid [Am]there an' listened to him [G]talk for a long,
[F]long while.
He rambled [Am]on about the lawy[Gsus4]ers,
[G]An' the family[C] torn in [F]two.
He said: "Now [Am]it's like this:
[Gsus4]I'm empty;
"I'm just [C]tryin to get
[F]through."

[Verse 3]
An' the kindness [C]of strangers:
The [G]tears of angels:
An' the [Am]wonderin' how to let go,
[F]When the heartache's all you trust.
The quiet of [C]cathedrals,
To cut [G]through the evil:
There's some [Am]little ray of hope,
While [F]you watch love turn
to rust.
[C]And your soul [Dm]is bleedin',
What you really [G]need is,
The kindness of [C]strangers.

[Verse 4]
He put [Am]on his coat an' he
[G]headed for the [C]door.
[Am]She said: "You never [G]got
what you paid me [F]for."
She said: "I [Am]don't need to
keep this [Gsus4]money."[G]
[C]He said: "Yeah, [F]you do."
An' [Am]she said: "I don't pray [G]much,
"But [C]honey,
I'll pray for [F]you."

[Verse 5]
An' the kindness [C]of strangers:
The kisses [G]of angels:
An' letting [Am]go even though,
[F]The heartache's all you trust.
The quiet of [C]cathedrals,
The wing[G]s of eagles:
[Am]To carry you some hope,
Even though [F]love's turned to rust.
When you really [Dm]need it:
'Cause your soul [G]is bleedin':
The kindness [C]of [F]strangers.
The kindness of [Am]strangers.
[F]The kindness [C]of .....
