Tom: Em

G                                                                                    C
You've walked a long road and you've worn it well. You stitched yourself up when you fell.
          Am7                     D                             G
Keep your memories in jars. Carry secrets in scars beneath your shell.
G                                                                                  C
You've seen some good days and some bad ones too. You weave through fashion and trend
Am7                           D                          G
 You've seen a sun rise on an ocean blue. You've seen it set for the dearest of friends

[Chorus]
C                         D                  G                         Em
 You found faith but you,  chose to doubt it.  You found love but you,  left without it
Am7                        D              G
 And now you don't want to  talk about it

[Verse 2]
    G
You travelled down through foreign lands. Touched mountain tops and golden sand
                                  C
Seen pyramids and temples made of stone
     Am7                              D
Keep seashells in a cashmere scarf. A treasured book of photographs
   G
In every single one you stand alone
            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
     Am7                                D
Your birthdays flew past like June with Christmas days in hotel rooms
    G
And New Year's Eve with people you don't know

[Chorus]
C                                D                   G                               Em
 You built friendships but they,  sailed without you.  You never meant it and that's why, they doubt you
Am7                  D               G  G7
 And they don't ever  talk about you

[Outro]
           Am7                            D
And you're older than you used to be. The mirror weaves a tapestry of
G                    G/F#                Em
lines that dance and shimmer 'round your eyes
     Am7                         D
You stare back at a man, forever holding out his hand as if
    B7                                Em
the answer's going to fall out of the sky
        Am7                         D                                     G
But the penny never dropped. And no man has ever stopped time from flying by.
