Passenger – The Long Road (Guitar Intro)

C                 C                    Em           Em
  You've walked a long road and you've worn it well.

Em                  Em               F    F
   You stitched yourself up when you fell.

          Dm          Dm          G          G                  C     C  C  C
Keep your memories in jars. Carry secrets in scars beneath your shell.

C                  C                  Em           Em
  You've seen some good days and some bad ones too.

Em                   Em          F    F
   You weave through fashion and trend

Dm              Dm            G           G
  You've seen a sunrise on an ocean blue.

               C            C         C       C
You've seen it set for the dearest of friends

F           F             G           G
 You found faith but you,   chose to doubt it.

C                C        Am        Am
  You found love but you,   left without it

Dm             Dm           G        G      C  C  C  C
  And now you don't want to   talk about it

    C                         C                    Em                Em
You travelled down through foreign lands. Touched mountain tops and golden sand

     C             C               F    F
Seen pyramids and temples made of stone

     Dm              Dm                G                 G
Keep seashells in a cashmere scarf. A treasured book of photographs

   C            C               C   C
In every single one you stand alone

            C               C                  Em           Em
You've seen Vienna and the Berlin wall. As you watched the decades fall

    C                 C                  F    F
The letters that you wrote never made it home

     Dm                  Dm              G                G
Your birthdays flew past like June with Christmas days in hotel rooms

    C                    C                C   C
And New Year's Eve with people you don't know

F                      F        G            G
 You built friendships but they,  sailed without you.

C           C                  Am           Am
 You never meant it and that's   why, they doubt you

Dm               Dm   G       G        C  C  C7  C7
  And they don't ever   talk about you

           Dm             Dm              G               G
And you're older than you used to be. The mirror weaves a tapestry of

C                    C7                  Am    Am
lines that dance and shimmer 'round your eyes

     Dm             Dm           G               G
You stare back at a man, forever holding out his hand as if

    Em                Em              Am  Am
the answer's going to fall out of the sky

        F             F             G                     G    G             C   C C C
 But the penny never dropped. And no man has ever stopped time   from flying by.
