RIFF 1 (w/distortion)
A7 Dm
We passed upon the stairs, we spoke of was and when
A7 F
Although I wasn't there, he said I was his friend
C A
Which came as some surprise, I spoke into his eye
Dm RIFF 2 RIFF 2(w/distortion)
I thought you died alone, a long long time ago
RIFF 2 RIFF 3
Oh no, Not me,
Abm F
I never lost control,
RIFF 2 RIFF 3
You're face, to face
Abm A
With the man who sold the world
RIFF 1 (w/distortion)
A7 Dm
I smiled and shook his hand, and made my way back home.
A7 F
I searched for form and land, for years and years I roamed
C A
I gazed a gazely stare, at all the millions here
Dm RIFF 2 RIFF 2(w/distortion)
We must've died alone, a long long time ago
RIFF 2 RIFF 3
Who knows? Not me,
Abm F
We never lost control,
RIFF 2 RIFF 3
You're face, to face
Abm A
With the man who sold the world
RIFF 1 (w/distortion)
[repeat second chorus]
