Song: Strangest Thing
By:   The War On Drugs


[intro:]  C#m B A
	  C#m B A
          F#m E B
          C#m B A

[verse: 1] 
E
  Summer ride on the beach
C#m   B     A
Howl at the day
           F#m    E      B
I've been hiding out so long
         C#m   B      A
I gotta find another way

[verse: 2] 
E
  Late at night I wanna see you
        C#m          B        A
Well my eyes, they begin to fade
            F#m           E       B
Am I just living in the space between
     C#m    B        A
The beauty and the pain
         E     B
And the real thing

[verse: 3]
E                        C#m  B  
  Now the sky is painted
     C#m   B    A
In a wash of indigo
           F#m       E     B
I've been holding on too long
         C#m      B     A
In the howling of this cold

[verse: 4] 
E                        C#m  B
  I recognize every face
                  C#m      B   A
But I ain't got everything I need
              F#m      E          B
If I'm just living in the space between
      C#m   B        A
The beauty and the pain
             E       B
It's the strangest thing

[instrumental: guitar] {see tab below}
 
             A   A  E B  B
             A   A  E B  B

[bidge:]
           C#m      B       A
Yeah, she runs surrounding me
  F#m  E           B
Surrounded by the whole
    C#m     B      A
Surrounded by no other
    E        B
I wanna run home

[instrumental: guitar] {see tabs below}

             A   A  E B  B

     (Yeah, I can run slowly)
     (Don't run away again)
     (Yeah, I can run into the storm)
     (Don't you run away again)
     (I wanna run, I wanna run)
     (Yeah, I can run slowly)
     (Yeah, I can run slowly)
