Left Behind
Pete Bernhard
Intro: 
C  F  C  G
C  F  D  G
C  E  F  Fm
C  G  C G C
CI knew a girl now she was Flong and tall
CSlept in the kitchen with her Gfeet out in the hall
CShe never did too much talking, always Fthought that was my fault
Looking Dback that must have been something Gcrazy I was taught
Well CI ain’t spoken to her here in Equite some time
And the Fyears just pass on by like that Fmscenery outside
But CI can’t buy back thGem things I left behinCdG  C  
I knew a man now who taught me a few songs
In the porch light he would sing and then he would nod off
I still sing them songs now that I was taught
And it creeps just like some criminal now back into my thoughts
He used to write me letters now when he was feeling clean
Til he slipped into a darkness never to be retrieved 
Well now I can’t buy back them things I left behind
No now I can’t buy back them things I left behind
I always have been the quick at leaving kind
Never was the sort now to be left behind
I could pack up everything that I thought was mine
And be gone before the ink upon that letter head dried
Seen my pockets full of holes I seen my pockets full of gold
I got some beautiful possessions living in pawn shop windows
But oh I can’t buy back them things I left behind
No now I can’t buy back them things I left behind

Looking back that must have been something crazy I was taught

But I can’t buy back them things I left behind

I knew a man now who taught me a few songs

In the porch light he would sing and then he would nod off

I still sing them songs now that I was taught

And it creeps just like some criminal now back into my thoughts

He used to write me letters now when he was feeling clean

Til he slipped into a darkness never to be retrieved

Well now I can’t buy back them things I left behind

No now I can’t buy back them things I left behind

I always have been the quick at leaving kind

Never was the sort now to be left behind

I could pack up everything that I thought was mine

And be gone before the ink upon that letter head dried

Seen my pockets full of holes I seen my pockets full of gold

I got some beautiful possessions living in pawn shop windows

But oh I can’t buy back them things I left behind

No now I can’t buy back them things I left behind
