            Dm            C
There's a silence here between us
G
 I've never heard before
    Dm                C
And I can't find the love
        G
In her eyes anymore
                 Dm           C
There are some changes going on
      Dm                 F
I'm beginning to under-stand
          Dm
When I'm holding her
                      Am
I swear I feel the presence of another man

CHORUS:
            Dm            G
There's a stranger in my house
Am                   A
Somebody's here that I can't see
Dm               G
Stranger in my house
Am                        A                Dm
Somebody here trying to take her away from me

1.) Dm C G  go to second verse
2.) Dm C G  Dm C G  lead on Dm C G Dm C G
            Dm             C
She sits staring out the window
    G
A billion miles away
            Dm              C
And when I ask if she's alright
           G
She never has to much to say
         Dm              C
Is it somebody we both know
Dm                 F
Somebody she just met
         Dm
Is she loving him in her mind
             Am
While she's lying here in my bed

chorus,
Dm                   Am
Suspicions lead to questions
       Dm             F
and Questions to ali-bis
       Dm          Am
Is it just my imagination
    A
Or has her love turned into lies

            Dm            G
There's a stranger in my house
Am                   A
Somebody's here that I can't see
Dm               G
Stranger in my house
Am                        A
Somebody here trying to take her away
  Dm            G
Stranger in my house
Am                   A
Somebody's here that I can't see
Dm               G
Stranger in my house
Am                        A
Somebody here trying to take her away
  Dm            G
Stranger in my house
Am                        A                Dm
Somebody here trying to take her away from me
