Intro: D
D
We've walked the long road and you've worn it well.
G
You stitched yourself up when you fell.
Em
Keep your memories in jars,
A
Carry secrets in scars
D
Beneath your shell.
D
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
G A Em A
You found faith but you, chose to doubt it.
D Bm
You found love but you, left without it.
Em
G A
And now you don't want, to talk about it.
D
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.
D
D
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.
Em
G A
They don't ever talk about you.
D
Em
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.
