[Verse 1]
G B Em G B Em
We were seventeen, first time away from home
Am D
You lived down the hall
Am D
Went to high school in Oshawa
G B Em G B Em
Days would go by, you'd never leave your room
Am D
I'd ask what was wrong
Am D
You just laughed and said, "c'mon"
[Chorus]
C Em
But It's easy for me to say:
Am G
I'm not alone with those conversations
C Em
That you have with yourself all day
Am D
Man I get it when you need escaping
C G Am
When it gets too much
C G Am
I love you like my own blood
N.C.
So don't be a stranger
[Instrumental]
G B Em
G B Em
[Verse 2]
G B Em
No one ever knew how you two could even be related
G B
You were always delicate
Em
Despite a father with no patience
Am D Am D
I returned his call, I tried to say, "it's nobody's fault"
[Chorus]
C Em
It's easy for me to say:
Am G
I'm not alone with those conversations

I love you like my own blood

Em D
It's 10 pm, you've been drinking
C Bm Am
You're holding court and putting on a show
Em D
All the talent, but its a balance
F C D
I can't tell you anything you don't already know
G B Em G B Em
I can't predict the next time it'll hit
Am D
When the urge comes on strong
Am D
To pack it in and dissolve
[Chourus]
C Em
It's easy for me to say:

When it gets too much
C G Am
I know it gets too much

What have you been taking?
C G Am
I love you like my own blood

So don't be a stranger
