[Intro]
 | G   | G   | G   | G   | x4
 
[Verse 1]
 G                                                                           
You've walked a long road and you've worn it well. You stitched yourself up 
          C
when you fell.
           Am7                     D                             G
Keep your memories in jars. Carry secrets in scars beneath your shell.
 G                                                                           
You've seen some good days and some bad ones too. You weave through fashion 
        C
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                       
 You built friendships but they,  sailed without you.  You never meant it and
         Em
 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.
