Tom : G
Intro: G
G
Oh my dance is getting slower now
D
'cause my years they're getting older now.
Am C
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 C
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 C
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.
