        Dm                           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                Gm A 
           Which came as some surprise, I spoke into his eyes 
                                    Dm                     C  
             I thought you died alone, a long long time ago 
                          C             F  
                          Oh no,        not me 
                            Bbm               F  
                          I never lost control 
                                     C           F 
                          Your'e face      to face 
                             Bbm              A (repeat intro. ) 
                    with the man who sold the world 
        I laughed and shook his hand, and made my way back home 
       I searched for form and land, for years and years i roamed 
            I gazed a gazely stare at all the millions here 
             We must have died alone' a long long time ago 
                           Who knows? not me 
                         We never lost control 
                          Your'e face to face 
                    with the man who sold the world
