                   A
We passed upon the stair
                     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
A long long time ago

I laughed and shook his hand
And made my way back home
I searched for form and land
For years and years I roamed

I gazed a gazely stare
For all a million years
We must have died alone
A long long time ago

Who knows, not me
I never lost control
You're face to face with the man who sold the world

Who knows, not me
