Standard (EADGBE)

Rescue me, before my dreams have flown away

Rescue me, take me back with you again

The lonely hours I wait for dawn’s caress, I can’t forget

The silence of the loneliness

Destiny, I wrote the book about the game

Destiny, now I’ve learned how to take the pain

Try as I may I can’t explain the way I’m feeling now

Try as I may I can’t explain

 And now I’m walking right back to you and all along I never really knew

 That there was heartbreak ahead and everyone but I could see

That’s the story of me

Don’t look back, to think about the things we did

Don’t look back, to pretend that’s how it might have been

I’m walking homeward thru the shadows of the night again

So now the story can be told

And now I’m walking right back to you

And all along I never really knew

That there was sorrow to come and I thought there’d be ecstasy

That’s the story of me
