Em  A  Em  A  

Em                  A  
We passed upon the stair,  
Em                     A  
We spoke of was and when.  
Em                      A  
Although I wasn't there,  
Em                  A  
He said I was his friend.  

Em                   A  
Which came as some surprise,  
Em                    A  
I spoke into his eyes.  
Em                     A  
I thought you died alone,  
Em                   A  
A long, long time ago.  

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

Em                A  
I laughed and shook his hand,  
Em                 A  
And made my way back home.  
Em                   A  
I searched for form and land,  
Em                      A  
For years and years I roamed.  

Em                   A  
I gazed a gazeless stare,  
Em                     A  
We walked a million hills.  
Em                      A  
I must have died alone,  
Em                   A  
A long, long time ago.  

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

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