Retrace Chords & Lyrics - Gordon Downie

[C] [Cm7] [F] [C] x3

High as an elephant's [F]eye before we even l[C]eft,

and when the party had [F]died, and as we drank the r[C]est,

I r[Em]etrace my [Am]steps.

[C] [Cm7] [F] [C] x3

Snowy basketball [F]court, the cold courthouse [C]steps,

hanging on every [F]word, hearing everything you [C]say as I r[Em]etrace my

[Am]steps.


As I [C]retrac[Em]e my [Am]steps,

[F]I retrace my [C]steps,

[Am]I wear a lonely [F]path, I retrace my step[G]s and b[C]ack.


[C] [Cm7] [F] [C] x3

Woke up this afte[F]rnoon, a pale sun in the [C]west.

I haven't left my [F]room. I haven't taken a s[C]tep, as I r[Em]etrace my

[Am]steps.

As I r[C]etra[Em]ce my s[Am]teps,

[F]I retrace my [C]steps [Am]until no trace rem[F]ains and I'll retrace my [G]steps

[Am]again.

[F]I'll retrace my [C]steps though I [Am]know we're all saying '[F]Goodbye'.

You know, I'"ll retrace[G] my steps again,[C] tonight. Tonight.

[C] [Cm7] [F] [C] x4

End on [C]
