[Verse 1]
EWhen i jumped off i had a bucket full of thoughts
EWhen i first jumped off i held that bucket in my AhandG  
EIdeas that would take me all around the world
AI stood and watched the smoke behind the Gmountain curl
[Chorus]
DIt took me a long time to Aget back Gon the tErain
[Verse 2]
ENow I'm gone and I'll never look back again
EI'm gone and I'll never look back at AallG  
EYou know i'll never look back again
AI turn my face into the Ghowling wind
[Chorus]
DIt took me a long time to Aget back Gon the tErain
[Verse 3]
ESee my face in the town that's flashing by
ESee me standing in the station in the ArainG  
ESee me running there beside the car
I Aleft it all behind me and I've Gtraveled far
[Chorus]
DIt took me a long time to Aget back Gon the tErain
DIt took me a long time to Aget back Gon the tErain
DIt took me a long time to Aget back Gon the tErain
