STRANGER IN MY BED
words and music by Kristen Hall
from "Real Life Stuff" (Daemon Records)
(c) 1989 Ludakris Music

This song is in the key of F#.  Like the other songs on this CD in F#
("I Don't Need You Anyway," "Grandpa's Song" & "Fade Away Blind") 
Kristen seems to have her guitar tuned a full step down with a capo on
the first fret.  As an alternative I've also included a version in standard
tuning, capo second fret, which can be played with the recording.
Hammer on to the Dsus4, Slide to the Bsus4.

Chords, guitar lowered a full step, CAPO I

D  Dsus4    C*     D  Dsus4    C*
D  Dsus4    C*     D  Dsus4    C*

D  Dsus4          C*                D  Dsus4    C*
    You act like you don't think I know

D  Dsus4    C*                  D  Dsus4    C*
    And I pretend that I don't see

D  Dsus4        C*                    D  Dsus4    C*
    You say you've got some place to go

D  Dsus4    C*              D  Dsus4    C*  Cadd9  C*
    Far  away      from     me

  G        C     G          C            D  Dsus4  C*   D  Dsus4   C*
Lookout, danger, I see a stranger in my bed

    Sometimes it's like you just don't think
    And I pretend that I don't care
    You say you really need a drink
    And disappear somewhere

  G         C    G          C           D  Dsus4  C*   D  Dsus4   C*
Lookout, danger, I see a stranger in my bed

  G         C      G          C           D  Dsus4 C*  D  Dsus4   C*
Lookout, stranger, I've got devils in my head

    I'd like to think we'll work things out
    And I pretend we just need time
    I guess I got myself convinced
    It'll all be fine

Lookout, danger, I see a stranger in my bed
Lookout, stranger, I've got devils in my head

  G                       C
Things don't change they stay the same

  G                   C
They just turn into tears like

  G              C
Days turn into weeks, turn into

  G                D  Dsus4  C*   D  Dsus4   C*
Months, turn into years

D  Dsus4    C*     D  Dsus4    C*

    Sometimes I wonder where you go
    And I pretend I'm not alone
    I feel so empty when you're here
    I kinda like it when you're gone

Lookout, danger, I see a stranger in my bed
Lookout, stranger, I've got devils in my head
