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

and when the party had died, and as we drank the rest,
Em Am
I retrace my steps.

Snowy basketball court, the cold courthouse steps,
F C Em
hanging on every word, hearing everything you say as I retrace my
Am
steps.
C Em Am
As I retrace my steps,
F C
I retrace my steps,
Am F G C
I wear a lonely path, I retrace my steps and back.

F C
Woke up this afternoon, a pale sun in the west.
F C Em
I haven't left my room. I haven't taken a step, as I retrace my
Am
steps.
C Em Am
As I retrace my steps,
F C Am F G
I retrace my steps until no trace remains and I'll retrace my steps
Am
again.
F C Am F
I'll retrace my steps though I know we're all saying 'Goodbye'.
G C
You know, I'"ll retrace my steps again, tonight. Tonight.
