Chords : G D Am C Em

Capo: 7th

intro: G

G
We've walked the long road and you've worn it well.
                                     C
You stitched yourself up when you fell.
 Am
Keep your memories in jars,
D
Carry secrets in scars
                  G
Beneath your shell.

G

G
You've seen some good days, and some bad ones too. 
                                   C
You weave through fashion and trend. 
Am                                    D
       You've seen a sun rise on an ocean blue, 
   G
You've seen it set for the dearest of friends 
G                            D   Am      D
       You found faith but you, chose to doubt it. 
G                            Em        
       You found love but you, left without it. 

Am

C              D
And now you don't want, to talk about it. 

G

G
You travelled down through foreign lands,

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

G

G
You've seen Vienna and the Berlin wall,

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

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

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

C        D
They don't ever talk about you. 

G

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

Am
But the penny never dropped, 
Bm     C       D                  G
And no man has ever stopped time flying by.
