Verse
C#m           G# 
   We passed upon the stair 

G#                       C#m 
We spoke of was and when  

         C#m 
Although I wasn't there 

G#                       E 
He said I was his friend  

           E             B 
Which came as a surprise  

        B    G# 
I spoke into his eyes 

G#                 C#m 
I thought you died alone 


Chorus
C#m              B   B 
A long long time ago

Oh no not me

Verse
C#m               C#m 
   I laughed and shook his hand 

G#  G#                       C#m 
And   made my way back home  

               C#m      G#   G# 
I searched for form and land  

              G#             E 
For years and years I roamed  

          E        B     B 
I gazed a gazeless stare  

            B       G# 
We walked a million hills 

  G#             C#m 
I must have died alone 

  C#m            B 
A long long time ago 


Chorus
B 
 Who knows 

    B 
Not me 


I never lost control 

               E 
You're face to face 

                      C 
With the man who sold the world 


Who knows 


Not me 

                      C E 
We never lost control   

       B       E 
You're face to face 

             C 
With the man who sold the world 

                              G#   G# C#m F# G#
