[Intro]
C Cmaj7 C7 C6 Caug C (x2)

[Verse 1]
C
I was on top of the world livin high
D7
It was right in my pocket
G7
I was livin' the life
C G
Things were just the way they should be
C Cmaj7 C6 C D7
When from out of the sky like a bomb comes some little punk in a rocket
G7 C
Now all of a sudden some strange things are happenin' to me...

D7 G Intro (x2)
Ain't no doubt about it

[Verse 2]
(same chords)

You got someone you think you know well
Who turns out a stranger
The minute you turn your back
You're in it all by yourself

They laugh at your jokes
You think you're doin' quite well
But you're in danger, boy
You end up alone, forgotten, way up on the shelf

[Chorus]
Am F G
strange...... things are happenin' to me
Am F G
Strange...... things
Ab C F
Strange...... things are happenin' to me...
D7 G Intro (x2)
Ain't no doubt about it.....

Am F G
strange...... things are happenin' to me
Am F G
Strange...... things
Ab C F D7 G
Strange...... things are happenin' to me...

Strange things....
Strange things....
