       C         C/B    F
I will come back for my things
          C      C/B   F
Then I'll go the way I came
     C         C/B     F     C          G
back down your crooked steps two at a time
C          C/B     F
And to the morning sun
       C    C/B  F
I will call as I run
   C     C/B        F  C      G
As if it waited for me now to shine
 F              C       G      C
This is my good fortune now at last
F             C      G      F
This is all I never knew to ask of you
   Dm               G              C
To leave me with no love I might return.
C            C/B     F
I know where I could go
         C           C/B     F
And work awhile, you never know
    C           C/B    F      C      G
the change might be enough to set me free
C       C/B     F
I could leave tonight
    C        C/B   F
And discover I was right
        C     C/B    F     C      G
But now freer than I ever chose to be
F               C       G      C
This is my good fortune now at last
F             C      G      F
this is all I never knew to ask of you
   Dm               G              C
To leave me with no love I might return

SOLO

C          C/B     F
I climb up on the side
       C      C/B     F
Of the engine where I ride
     C      C/B       F      C       G
It's warmer than all that I leave behind
C          C/B      F
I shake my collar free
    C       C/B      F
And hold myself against my knee
      C        C/B       F         C         G
And I pray tonight's the peaceful, dreamless kind.
F               C       G      C
This is my good fortune now at last
F             C     G       F
This is all I never knew to ask of you
   Dm               G            Am
To leave me with no love I might return
F               G         C
This is my good fortune
