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