Intro: G 

      G 
Oh my dance is getting slower now  
          D 
'cause my years they're getting older now.  
       Am                                   C 
And my eyes, they won't cry. My tears have all run dry. 

       G 
And my memory doesn't get me very far,  
           D                                
I can't remember my name or exactly who you are.  
      Am                     C 
And I don't know why, no I don't know why. 

         G                          D 
Will you please believe I'm not the person you see,  
                  Am                           C 
I left that body long ago. I left it way back there. 

         G                      D 
Will you please believe, given all that you see,  
                 Am                      C 
I left that body long ago, but somehow nobody knows. 

       G                             D 
So goodbye, you were my world and my life.  
                  Am                                    C 
And I don't know why you've lost your mother, lost your wife. 

            G                                   D 
But there's more, something more than meets the eye.  
                Am                    C 
This is not the end, this is only goodbye. 

         G                           D 
Will you please believe I'm not the person you see,  
                  Am                           C 
I left that body long ago. I left it way back there. 

        G                         D 
Now I'm free, I'm as happy as can be.  
                     Am                         C 
I just wanted you to know that I left that body long ago. 
        G 
So long ago.
