                    A7
We passed upon the stair
                        Dm
We spoke of was and when
                   A7
Although I wasn't there
                        F
He said I was his friend
                        C
Which came as some surprise
                  A7
I spoke into his eyes
                    Dm
I thought you died alone
                   C
A long long time ago

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

                         A7
I laughed and shook his hand
                         Dm
And made my way back home
                         A7
I searched for form and land
                            F
For years and years I roamed
                   C
I gazed a gazely stare
                    A7
At all the millions here
                   Dm
We must have died alone
                   C
A long long time ago

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

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