passed upon [Ab] the stair, smoking was [Dbm] the wind, although I [Ab] wasn't there.
Said I was his [E] friend, which came as [B] a surprise.
I spoke into [Ab] his head, I thought you [Dbm] died alone, not long, long time [B] ago.
Oh no, not [E] me, we [C] never lost [E]
control.
And [B] face [E] to face, the [C] man who sold the [Ab] world, [Gb] [Ab] [Dbm]

I laughed and [Ab] shook his hand.
Made my way back [Dbm] home, I searched for a former [Ab] land.
Years and years [E] I roamed, I gazed, I [B] gazed, I stared.
With more than a [Ebm] million [Ab] years, I must have died [Db]
[Dbm] alone, not long, long time [B]
ago.
Who knows, [E] not me, [C] I never lost [E] control.
[B] Your face, [E] to face, [C] with the man who sold [Ab] the world.
