A
We passed upon the stairs
                    Dm
We spoke of was and when
                  A
Although I wasn't there
                  F
He said I was his friend
                   C
Which came as a surprise
                 A
I spoke into his eyes
                     Dm
I thought you died alone
                   C
A long, long time ago

           F
Oh no, not me
    C#           F
I never lost control
       C       F
You're face to face
         C#               A
With the man who sold the world

I laughed and shook his hand
Made my way back home
I searched for form and land
For years and years, I roamed
I gazed a gazely stare
At all the millions here
I must have died alone
A long, long time ago

    C          F
Who knows, not me
  C#             F
I never lost control
       C        F
You're face, to face
         C#               A
With the man who sold the world
