 We passed upon the stair
 We spoke of was and when
 Although I wasn't there
 He said I was his friend
 Which  came as a sur-prise
 I spoke into his eyes
 I thought you died  alone
 A long long time a-go
 Oh no,  not me (mess around with high e string here if you like)
 We never  lost con-trol
You're  face to face
 With The Man  Who Sold The World  (repeat Intro here)
 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 gazeless stare
 At all the millions  here
 I must have died a-lone
 A long, long time a-go
 Who knows?
 Not  me
 We never  lost con-trol
 You're face  to face
 With the Man  who Sold the World  Am
