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
