We passed upon the s[A]tairs,
Spoke of what and [Dm]when,
Although I wasn't [A]there
Said I was a fri[F]end,
Which came as some s[C]urprise,
I spoke into his [A]eyes -- I thought you died a[Dm]lone
A long long time a[C]go
(First chorus)
Oh [C]no, not me,
We [Bbm]never lost control,[F]
You're [C]face, to face,
With the [Bbm]man who sold the w[A]orld.


I laughed and shook his [A]hand,
Made my way back h[D]ome,
I searched for foreign la[A]nd,
Years and years I roam[F]ed,
I gazed a gazers st[C]are,
At all the millions t[A]here -- I must have died a[D]lone,
A long long time ago[C].

(Second chorus)

Who knows, not me,
I [C#]never lost control[C],

Your face, to face,
With the [C#]man who sold the world.


Repeat second chorus.
