C                        F                                                                             
I knew a girl now she was long and tall 
C                             G                                                                       
Slept in the kitchen with her feet out in the hall 
C                                     F                                                      
She never did too much talking, always thought that was my fault 
        D                                  G                                          
Looking back that must have been something crazy I was taught 

     C                             E                                                                
Well I ain?t spoken to her here in quite some time 
        F                              Fm                                                       
And the years just pass on by like that scenery outside 
    C                  G                     C    G    C                   
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
