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

                       F                          C
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.

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.
