[Verse 1]
C         D                 Gm7     A7
  See Boy Strange on the horizon of love
     Dm      Bb     F              G
He's calling to you   what do you say
C         D                Gm7     A7
  See Boy Strange as an example of youth
   Dm          Bb     F                G
So close to the truth    but still far away

[Chorus]
E                 F
  And he's such a strange boy
E                               F
D'you think he'll make a good exchange for
E                  F
  The one before a closed door
Ab                G    G6
  That you left behind

[Verse 2]
C            D             Gm7      A7
When you realise that this   boy is strange
     Dm         Bb      F               G
It's too late to change   your point of view
C            D          Gm7               A7
  He's often there when the sun meets the sky
       Dm         Bb   F        G
With a perfect alibi     unlike you

[Chorus]
E                 F
  And he's such a strange boy
E                               F
D'you think he'll make a good exchange for
E                  F
  The one before a closed door
Ab                G    G6
  That you left behind

[Verse 3]
C                     D              Gm7            A7
  To talk of common sense is   a complete waste of time
     Dm         Bb    F            G
His looks are a crime   Bound to commit
C                    D            Gm7         A7
  In the eyes of the world he's a borderline fool
     Dm        Bb     F                  G           C
Both naive and cruel     why would you inflict him on you
