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

And my memory doesn't get me very far
I can't remember my name or exactly who you are
And I don't know why
No I don't know why

Chorus:
           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.

So goodbye, you were my world and my life
And I don't know why you've lost your mother, lost your wife
But there's more, something more than meets the eye
This is not the end, this is only goodbye

Chorus:
Will you please believe I'm not the person you see
I left that body long ago, I left it way back there

Now I'm free, I'm as happy as can be
I just wanted you to know
That I left that body long ago
So long ago
