(w/ Riff 1 x6)
[Verse 1]
We passed upo
n the stairs,
we spoke of wa
s and when
Although I was
n't there, he
said I was his
friend
Which came as
some surprise,
I spoke into
his eyes
Dm C (Riff 2)
I thought you died alone, a long long time ago
[Chorus]
C (Riff 2) F (Riff 3)
Oh no, not me
Bbm F (Riff 3)
I never lost control
C (Riff 2) F
You're face to face
with the man w
ho sold the wo
(
rld
[Verse 2]
I laughed and
shook his hand
, and made my
way back home
I searched for
form and land
, for years an
d years I roam
ed
I gazed a gaze
ly stare at al
l the millions
here
Dm C (Riff 2)
We must have died alone, a long long time ago
[Chorus]
C (Riff 2) F (Riff 3)
Who knows? not me
Bbm F (Riff 3)
We never lost control
C (Riff 2) F
You're face to face
with the man w
ho sold the wo
