                      F5                   C5
High as an elephant's eye before we even left, 

                       F5                          C5
and when the party had died, and as we drank the rest, 

   E5        A5
I retrace my steps. 

C5 C5 F5  C5 x3

                 F5                          C5
Snowy basketball court, the cold courthouse steps, 

                 F5                            C5         E5            
hanging on every word, hearing everything you say as I retrace my 

A5
steps. 


     C5     E5   A5
As I retrace my steps, 

F5            C5
I retrace my steps, 


A5              F5                      G5      C5
I wear a lonely path, I retrace my steps and back.

                 F5                        C5
Woke up this afternoon, a pale sun in the west. 

                  F5                        C5          E5
I haven't left my room. I haven't taken a step, as I retrace my 

A5
steps.

      C5   E5     A5
As I retrace my steps, 

F5            C5     A5                F5                        G5
I retrace my steps until no trace remains and I'll retrace my steps 

A5
again. 

F5               C5              A5                     F5            
I'll retrace my steps though I know we're all saying 'Goodbye'. 

                            G5               C5
You know, I'"ll retrace my steps again, tonight. Tonight.
