Less Of A Stranger Chords

[Intro]
| G  | G  |
 
 
[Verse 1]
 G
Never gonna know you
     G
The way that I want to
      C                    G
I'll never see you in the wild
        G
You're never gonna see me through
     G
The same eyes my friends do
C                        G
 Looking in from the outside
 
 
[Chorus]
            Am
Don't want her to change
       C            G
Pick apart, or rearrange her
    Am                  C
Oh, I just wish my own mother was
             G
Less of a stranger
 
 
[Verse 2]
      G
Ever since I left your body
                         C
Been a breathless fast swimmer
             G
Slow on the sand
           G
"Will the race bend back home?"
              G
You said you hate being alone
            Dm               C               G
Did you forget the starting gun was in your hand?
 
 
[Chorus]
            Am
Don't want her to change
            C               G
She's always been the entertainer
    Am                  C
Oh, I just wish my own mother was
             G
Less of a stranger

[Bridge]
        G
When I look into the mirror
                          C
I see my father, when I close my eyes
       G
I see you
          G
When you look into the mirror
           G
Does your father appear?
Dm                   C               G
Eyes closed, do you see your mother too?
 
 
[Chorus]
             Am         C       G
Sometimes I wonder, do I intimidate her?
        Am              C
Do my questions and my pain
                     G
Take like skin to a razor?
            Am
Don't want her to change
         C                G
Or feel bad for life's remainder
    Am                  C
Oh, I just wish my own mother was
             G
Less of a stranger
