Chords : D G Em A Bm F#m
Capo: 7th
intro: D Fingerpicking (D Only)
We’ve walked the long road and you’ve worn it well.
You stitched yourself up when you fel
l.
K
eep your memories in jars,
Carry secrets in scars
Beneath your shell
.
You’ve seen some good days, and some bad ones too.
You weave through fashion and trend
.
You’ve seen a sun rise on an ocean blu
e,
You
’ve seen it set for the dearest of friends
You found faith but yo
u, c
hose to
doubt it.
You found love but you
, left without it.
And now you don
’t want, to talk about it.
You travelled down through foreign lands,
Touched mountain tops and golden sand,
Seen pyramids and temples made of stone.
K
eep seashells in a cashmere scarf,
A treasured book of photographs
In every single one you stand alone.
You’ve seen Vienna and the Berlin wall,
As you watched the decades fall
The letters that you wrote never made it home.
Your birthdays flew past like June,
With Christmas days in hotel rooms
And new year’s eve with people you don’t know.
You built friendships but th
ey, sa
iled without
you.
You never meant it and that’s why, t
hey doubt you.
They don'
t ever talk about you.
You’re older than you used to be,
The mirror weaves a tapestry
Of lines that dance and sh
immer ’round your eyes.
You stare back at a man, fore
ver holding out his hand
As if the answer’s gonna to f
all out of the sky.
But the penny never dropped,
And no
man has
ever stopped time f
lying by.
