Intro

Dm7 G/D C/D D Csus2 D5 G7 D5/A Csus2 D5 x2

Verse 1

He's the perfect stranger like a cross of himself and a fox   
He's a feeling arranger and a changer of the way he talks   
He's the unforeseen danger and the keeper of the key to the locks   

Chorus

Know when you see him, nothing can free him
Step aside, open wide, it's the loner

Bridge

          

Verse 2

If you see him in the subway, he'll be down at the end of the car   
Watching you move till he knows, he knows who you are   
When you get off at the station alone, he'll know that you are   

Chorus

Know when you see him, nothing can free him
Step aside, open wide, it's the loner

Instrumental

F F6 F x4 D5
F F6 F x4 D5

Verse 3

There was a woman he knew about a year or so ago   
She had something that he needed and he pleaded with her not to go   
On the day that she left, he died but it did not show  

Chorus

Know when you see him, nothing can free him
Step aside, open wide, it's the loner
