Intro: G

      G
Oh my dance is getting slower now 
          D
'cause my years they're getting older now. 
       Am                                   Em
And my eyes, they won't cry. My tears have all run dry.

       G
And my memory doesn't get me very far, 
           D                               
I can't remember my name or exactly who you are. 
      Am                     Em
And I don't know why, no I don't know why.

         G                          D
Will you please believe I'm not the person you see, 
                  Am                           C
I left that body long ago. I left it way back there.

         G                      D
Will you please believe, given all that you see, 
                 Am                      C
I left that body long ago, but somehow nobody knows.

       G                             D
So goodbye, you were my world and my life. 
                  Am                                    C
And I don't know why you've lost your mother, lost your wife.

            G                                   D
But there's more, something more than meets the eye. 
                Am                    Em
This is not the end, this is only goodbye.

         G                           D
Will you please believe I'm not the person you see, 
                  Am                           C
I left that body long ago. I left it way back there.

        G                         D
Now I'm free, I'm as happy as can be. 
                     Am                         C
I just wanted you to know that I left that body long ago.
        G
So long ago.
