All I Left Behind

Bb

Gm                       Eb              Bb
All I left behind should come as no surprise
F                                                 Bb
To me since I fell through the black hole of your eye
Gm                     Eb                  Bb
Only little things inconsequential I could say
F                                               Bb
Of all I left behind with you along the lost highway
F                  Bb
Silver earrings in Wichita
F                   Bb
Beaded moccasins in Tonapah
              F
But I had you so
                Bb
I just let them go
Gm                          Eb               Bb
The flannel shirt I wore to keep me from the cold
F                                       Bb
When we drove from Boston all the way to Buffalo
Gm                            Eb          Bb
The leather boots I bought so many miles ago
F                                      Bb
I took them off to follow you into the Ohio
F                  Bb
Never did my armor feel so thin
F                              Bb
Silk was all I had between me and your skin
          F                Bb
Like waterloo  I lost that too
F                                     Bb
And the gold bracelet with my fathers name inscribed
       F                             Bb
On the back by the one who loved him all her life
          F                    Bb
The way I too could have loved you
Gm                      Eb                Bb
The spanish shawl I put across the broken shade
F
Of the lamp that lit the room
                            Bb
That last night near Cour d'Alene
Gm                         Eb               Bb
Only little things inconsequential I could say
F                                               Bb
Of all I left behind with you along the lost highway
F                Bb
Of all I left behind
