Strange Weirdos by Loudon Wainwright III
Strange Weirdos
B E B E
Isn't it strange the two strangers
B E
Suddenly don't feel so strange
A E
It's something familiar, though this time is different
F#m B
What they're in for feels like sea change
E B
Isn't it weird the two weirdos
F#m A E
Can wind up not feeling that weird
A E
It's all so momentous, yet perfectly normal
F#m B
Scary but not to be feared
B
And it starts with a sentence
A
That might last a lifetime
E
Though it all might just
B
Go down in flames
B
If I let you know me then
A
Why would you want me
E
Each day I don't is a shame
G B G
Each day I don't is a great shame
F#m A E
Each day I don't is a great shame
F#m E F#m E B F#m B E A E F#m A F#m B
E B
Isn't it great that two people
E
Together can tear down one wall
A E
A handwriting is on, it's not hieroglyphic
F#m B
That barrier just has to fall
B E
Well, isn't it sad that most people
B E
Stay so lonely, it's almost a crime
A
We might be strange weirdos
E
That can't be normal
F#m B
To be frightened so much of our time
G B
And it starts with a sentence
A
That might last a lifetime
B
Though it all might just
Go down in flames
G B E
If I let you know me then
A E
Why would you want me?
E B
Each day I don't is a shame
E A G A E
And each day I don't is a great shame
