Passing Stranger Chords

[Intro]
Hammer on the G string 2nd fret and the B string 1st fret
 
[Verse 1]
        Am7
See the sign up ahead, it calls out your name
       F6                     Am7      G
It's a meaningful sign but it makes no sense
             Am7
They saw you pass on through with only one shoe
      F6                     Am7         G
And a mystified mind with an angel for a guide
          Am7
There's a destiny song that's meant for me
        F6                       Am7      G
But I'm weary of the soles of my innocent feet
       Am7
Like a single site you know it's all you've got
      F6                         Am7          G
So be sure to aim true with your eyes on full view
 
 
[Chorus]
                       Em
There's nobody you can accuse
                         C                            G
The mirror reflects upon truth and from inside I feel bruised
                        Em
The mask that I wear is unsure
                       C                         G
Unable to find a known cure so I hide forevermore
 
 
[Verse 2]
      Am7
I was passing stranger with a name I can't remember
     F6                   Am7        G
I am going blind from the dust in my eyes
        Am7
But the ground back home seems so far away
        F6                          Am7             G
And I'm coughing up my lungs, but I know I've gotta stay
    Am7
I'm moving slow with nowhere to go
  F6                     Am7
I stumble on a sign 'One Mile To Dine'
   Am7
It takes a little time and I'm barely alive
      F6                         Am7
But I make it nonetheless with a shortage of breath
 
 
{Chorus]
                            Em
The coffee you poured me is cold
                         C
The paper I'm reading is old
                           G
And that smile is not your own
                                   Em
The clothes that I wear are soaked through
                        C
I'm all out of luck for you
                                     G
And there's a million things I can't do
G                 G
Can't do, I can't do
 
 
[Verse 3]
          Am7
Something strangely familiar about the way I am
            F6                       Am7      G
I'm sitting next to the man with the unsteady hands
         Am7
He says, "How are you, son, where you been all week?"
       F6                  Am7   G
I recognize his voice even in my sleep
     Am7
Lord only knows what I got up to
           F6                    Am7      G
Maybe it's best for me if I just found my shoes
    Am7
And confirm my suspicions for heaven's sake
         F6               Am7      G
And pick up my trail from my front gate
 
 
[Chorus]
                       Em
There's nobody you can accuse
                           C
The mirror portrays a bold truth
                              G
And from inside it's what you do
                                Em
Start digging around and you'll find
                           C
Missing for years your own life
                                G
You're better off trying not to hide
       G                   G
Not to hide, trying not to hide
