Verse 1
                           A
We passed upon the stairs,
                            Dm                   A
And spoke in walls and wells, Although I wasn't there
                        F                         C
He said I was his friend, Which came as a surprise
                  A                        Dm
I spoke into his eyes, I thought you died alone
                      C                    
A long, long time ago.

Chorus
  C               F
Oh no, not me, We never lost control,
C                              F             
You're face, to face, With the man who sold the world.

Riff 1: 6 Times

                           A
I laughed and shook his hand
                      Dm                        A
And made my way back home, I searched afar the land,
                        F                      C
for years and years I roamed, I gazed a gazely stare
                     A                        Dm
We walked a million hills, I must have died alone, 
                     C   
A long long time ago

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