[Verse 1]
                   E
We passed upon the stair
                    Am
We spoke of was and when
                  E
Although I wasn't there
                  Am
He said I was his friend
                E
Which came as a surprise
                 Am
I spoke into his eyes
                   E
I thought you died alone
                 Am
A long long time ago
 
[Chorus]
   E
Oh no, not me
   F          Am
We never lost control
       E       Am
You're face to face

[Verse 2]
                        E
I laughed and shook his hand
                     Am
And made my way back home
                       E
I searched for foreign land
                      Am
For years and years I roamed
                   E
I gazed a gazeless stare
                    Am
We walked a million years
                 E
I must have died alone 
                  Am
A long, long time ago
 
[Chorus](2x)
    E
Who knows?
Not me
  F          Am
I never lost control
       E       Am
You're face to face
 
With the man who sold the world
