[Verse 1]
A7
We passed upon the stair
Dm
We spoke of was and when
A7
Although I wasn't there
F
He said I was his friend
C
Which came as some surprise
A7
I spoke into his eyes
Dm
I thought you died alone
C
A long long time ago
[Chorus 1]
C F
Oh no, not me
Bbm F
I never lost control
C F
You're face to face
Bbm A
With the man who sold the world
[Break]

[Verse 2]
A7
I laughed and shook his hand
Dm
And made my way back home
A7
I searched for form and land
F
For years and years I roamed
C
I gazed a gazely stare
A7
At all the millions here
Dm
We must have died alone
C
A long long time ago
[Chorus 2]
C F
Who knows, not me
Bbm F
We never lost control
C F
You're face to face
Bbm A
With the man who sold the world
[Break]
|(A) | A | Dm | Dm | F | F | Dm | Dm
[Chorus 3]
C F
Who knows, not me
Bbm F
We never lost control
C F
You're face to face
Bbm A
With the man who sold the world
