Tom: G
CHORUS 
n/c
I'm no stranger to shame 

I've got little to blame 

You sent for me and so I came 
G                       C
I'll come runnin' when you call my name 
    C         G     D          C          G             
Cuz I'm no stranger, I'm no stranger to shame 
D       C         G     D          C         G
 I said I'm no stranger, I'm no stranger to shame 
          G
I might stagger and I might sway 
          C
I might stutter just a bit but that's ok 
G
 I'm not walkin' too good that's true 
          C
I got a broke ass limp that'll pull me though 
G 
 I might appear to be a pile of rags 
            C
But I'm a stack of hundreds in a paper bag 
G
 I've been around this world and back 
          C
I made a million bucks and put it all on black 
   G
So if you see me stumble you don't have to look away 

It's not the first time, not the last 
         D 
You can leave me where I lay, because 


G                    C
I'm no stranger to shame 
                     G
I've got little to blame 
                          D
You sent for me and so I came 
G                       C
I'll come runnin' when you call my name 
    C         G     D          C          G             
Cuz I'm no stranger, I'm no stranger to shame 
D       C         G     D          C         G
 I said I'm no stranger, I'm no stranger to shame 


           G                         
I've been known to wake up in some dirty places 
     C
The sun only shines on deserving faces 
     G
The mind erases, forgets the stars 
    C
See each and every city has corner bar 
         G
That's where I am in a world so grim 
     C
The lights are as bright as the day is dim 
 G
See I'm priceless in a class of my own 
            C 
I used to stay out late but now I don't go home 
   G
So if you see me stumble you don't have to look away 

It's not the first time, not the last 
         D 
You can leave me where I lay 
 G (durch die nächsten 8 Zeilen)
How do you feel when the birds are chirpin' hey!

When your in bed and everybody is workin'  hey !

Are you down with the non believers  hey !

Make the slackers look like over achievers hey ! 

The dogs scratchin' on the door again hey !

The cat's out but he don't wanna come in  hey !

You got a bed and you got a floor  

But the couch is closer to your front door  
 

   G
So if you see me stumble you don't have to look away 

It's not the first time, not the last 
         D 
You can leave me where I lay
 

G                    C
I'm no stranger to shame 
                     G
I've got little to blame 
                          D
You sent for me and so I came 
G                       C
I'll come runnin' when you call my name 
    C         G     D          C          G             
Cuz I'm no stranger, I'm no stranger to shame 
D       C         G     D          C         G
 I said I'm no stranger, I'm no stranger to shame
    C         G     D          C          G             
Cuz I'm no stranger, I'm no stranger to shame 
D       C         G     D          C         G
 I said I'm no stranger, I'm no stranger to shame
