We've walked the long road and you've worn it well.

You stitched yourself up when you fell.
 Em
Keep your memories in jars,
A
Carry secrets in scars
                  D
Beneath your shell.

D
You've seen some good days, and some bad ones too.
                                   G
You weave through fashion and trend.
Em                                           A
       You've seen a sun rise on an ocean blue,
   D
You've seen it set for the dearest of friends

       You found faith but you, chose to doubt it.
D                            Bm
       You found love but you, left without it.

G              A
And now you don't want, to talk about it.

D
You travelled down through foreign lands,

Touched mountain tops and golden sand,
                                         G
Seen pyramids and temples made of stone.
 Em
Keep seashells in a cashmere scarf,
A
A treasured book of photographs
D
In every single one you stand alone.

You've seen Vienna and the Berlin wall,

As you watched the decades fall
                                              G
The letters that you wrote never made it home.

Em
Your birthdays flew past like June,
A
With Christmas days in hotel rooms
D
And new year?s eve with people you don't know.

G                                  A     Em           A
       You built friendships but they, sailed without you.
D                                      Bm
   You never meant it and that's why, they doubt you.

They don't ever talk about you.

You're older than you used to be,
A
The mirror weaves a tapestry
D                         F#m                       Bm
Of lines that dance and shimmer 'round your eyes.
Em                           A
You stare back at a man, forever holding out his hand
F#m                          D                   Bm
As if the answer's gonna to fall out of the sky.

Em
But the penny never dropped,
F#m    G       A                  D
And no man has ever stopped time flying by.
