[Dbm] We passed upon [Ab] the stair, I spoke and wasn't [Dbm] well,
Although I [Ab] wasn't there, Said I was [E] a friend,
Which came as [B] a surprise, I spoke into [Ab] his eyes,
I thought you'd [Dbm] died alone, A long long time [B] ago,
Oh no, [E] not me, We [C] never lost [E] control,
[B] Face [E] to face, [C] Doesn't run the slow the [Ab] world,
[Dbm]
[Ab] [Gb] [Abm] [E]
[Gb] [Dbm]
I laughed and [Ab] shook his hand, Made my way back [Dbm]
home,
I searched for [Ab] a former land, Years and years I [E] roamed,
I gazed, I [B] gazed and stared, We must have [Ab] million years,
I must have [Db] died [Dbm]
alone, A long long time [B]
ago,
Who knows, [E] not me, [C] I never lost [E] control,
[B] Your face, [E] to face, [C] Doesn't run the slow the [Ab] world,
