The chords for this song were found on a website called Sing Songs, a website containing multiple tabs and
chords for many other The Church s songs. I chose to transcribe the guitar chords on Ultimate Guitar to give
visibility to the excellent band The Church but also to the work of Jens Berke, creator of Sing Songs.

[Verse 1]
In the empty place the soul stripped bare
Of skins and heart and I come apart
In your icy hands
I forget my role, as I stare into your soul
[Verse 2]
In the empty place you change your mind
You change your clothes you change your pose
for a perfect fit
I forget the cast, as I stare into your past
[Chorus]
For a moment we re strangers
For a minute you look away
For a second or always
For an instant another day
Such strange things you say
[Verse 3]
In the empty place we dress our wounds
Collect our coats, a window gloats
Above a street
I prepare my case, as I stare into your face
[Chorus]
For a moment we re strangers
For a minute you look away
For a second or always
For an instant another day
Such strange things you say
[Verse 4]
Just one me one you
The world contains a few
Is it true, is it truly new
Are we through the stolen door once more
[Verse 5]
In the empty place we dress our wounds
Collect our coats, a window gloats
Above a street
I prepare my case, as I stare into your face
[Chorus]
For a moment we re strangers
For a minute you look away
For a second or always
For an instant another day
Such strange things you say
