1. Take my hand, I'm a stranger in paradise,
Em - Gm
D
all
lost in a wonderland, a stranger in paradise.
Em - A D
If I stand
starry-eyed that's a danger in paradise,
Em - Gm D
for
mortals who stand beside an
angel like you.
Bb D#
I saw your face and I ascended,
Cm -
D Gm
out of
the commonplace into the rare.
F# B
Somewhere in space I hang
suspended
Em D

until
I know there's a chance that you care.
Em - A D
2. Won't you answer the fervent prayer of
a stranger in paradise ?
Em - A D
Don't send me in dark despair from
all that I hunger for.
Em - A D
But open your angel’s eyes to the stranger in paradise,
Em - Gm D - Em - Gm - D
and tell him that he
need be a
stranger no more.
