[Verse 1]
                    A    
We passed upon the stairs
                    Dm  
We spoke of was and when
            A          
Although I wasn´t there
                  F     
He said I was his friend
                    C   
Which came as a surprise
              A      
I spoke into his eyes
                    Dm  
I thought you died alone
                     C
A long, long time ago

[Chorus 1]
           F 
Oh no, not me
   C#               F
I never lost control
          C        F
You're face to face
         C#               A    
With the man who sold the world

[Verse 2]
                         A  
I laughed and shook his hand
                 Dm  
Made my way back home
                         A  
I searched for form and land
                       F     
For years and years, I roamed
                     C  
I gazed a gazeless stare
                     A   
We walked a million hills
                  Dm  
I must have died alone
                     C
A long, long time ago

[Chorus 2]
               F 
Who knows, not me
  C#                F
I never lost control
          C       F 
You're face, to face
         C#               A    
With the man who sold the world
