C#           D           Esus4    E    A

A                      D
I met a girl, we had a beer
Bm                                C#
She shouted something I could not hear
A           D                  E     A        E        A     D
The bar was loud, she yelled into my ear, she yelled into my ear
D           E        D           E            A       E     A
Gone was my mind and all I could hear was the yelling in my ear
D         E          D            E          A
Felt just like I was walking in a stranger's eye

                A          D
I walked into a stranger's eye
           A             Bm 
It was unfamiliar and disturbing and I 
E               C#         D      A    Esus4/A A
looked out of a stranger's eye at ev - ery  -  thing

A                                      D
I picked up the paperback that you put down
Bm                                  C#
Skimmed the introduction and soon I found 
A          D         E          A      E     A          D
That I was totally engrossed in it,  I was engrossed in it
D          E         D       E          A       E     A
This was exactly the type of thing that I would never read
D             E            D            E          A
That's when I found myself walking in a stranger's eye

looked out of a stranger's eye at ev - ery  -  thing

When I'm alone, I'm "by myself"

A              D                 E     A        E      A       D
But what's the name for when you are inside the eye of someone else?
D        E        D          E           A     E     A
How do I say this thing that happened to me to me to me?
