Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

I was speeding through the dark

 I didn't know how far

 It can all run away with you sometimes in an empty box car

 You were trying to tell me something

 I wasn't listening to you

 There was nothing but confusion

 Every time that train come blowin' through

 Then you wrote me in a letter

 I don't how your courage came

 You told me what you wanted

 Every word in tears and flame

 How you loved me more than ever

 In spite of all the hurt inside

 And it cracked my heart wide open

 'til there was no place left to hide

 And I want to thank you babe

 For letting me back in

 I want to thank you

 For asking me to love you again

 I want to thank you babe

 For letting me back in

 I want to thank you

 For asking me to love you again

 I'd forgotten how to be patient

 I'd forgotten how to caress

 I'd forgotten how to ask for help

 And how to struggle for my best

 I was harder than those iron wheels

Rollin' down the track

 And every trip I took I never looked

 To getting any feelin' back

 And I want to thank you babe

 For letting me back in

 I want to thank you

 For asking me to love you again

 I want to thank you babe

 For letting me back in

 I want to thank you

 For asking me to love you again

 Then you met me at the station

 With a promise and a kiss

 You said my love for you will always be true

 But you must remember this

Respect me and protect me

 But don't expect me not to fall

 And I will do the same for you

 Until the final call

 And I want to thank you babe

 For letting me back in

 I want to thank you

 For asking me to love you again

 I want to thank you babe

 For letting me back in

 I want to thank you

 For asking me to love you again

 Thank you baby

 For letting me back in

 I want to thank you

 For asking me to love you again
