I am not the only traveler

Who has not repaid his debt

I’ve been searching for a trail to follow again

Em Am

Take me back to the night we met

Verse 2

Am C

And then I can tell myself

G

What the hell I’m supposed to do

Am C

And then I can tell myself

G

Not to ride along with you

Chorus

Em Am C

I had all and then most of you, some and now none of you

G

Take me back to the night we met

Em Am C

I don’t know what I’m supposed to do, haunted by the ghost of you

G

Oh, take me back to the night we met

Verse 3

Am C

When the night was full of terrors

And your eyes were filled with tears

When you had not touched me yet

Oh, take me back to the night we met

I had all and then most of you

G

Some and now none of you
