Dm7 G9 C7M
Take my hand, I'm a stranger in paradise
Dm7 G9 Fm7 C7M
All lost in a wonderland, a stranger in paradise
Dm7 G9 C7M
If I stand starry-eyed, that's a danger in paradise
Am6 Dm7 Fm G9 C
For mortals who stand beside an angel like you
Bridge
G#7 C#
I saw your face, and I ascended
Bm6 C7 Fm
Out of the commonplace into the rare
E7 A
Somewhere in space I hang suspended
Dm7 G9 C7M
Until I know there's a chance you care
Eº Dm7 G9 C7M
Won't you answer the fervent prayer of a stranger in paradise
Dm7 G9 C7M
Don't send me in dark despair from all that I hunger for
D7 G9 Em7 Eº
But open your angel arms to this stranger in paradise
Dm7 Fm G9 C
And tell him that he need be a stranger no more
