[Em]Ooo [D]ooo [G]ooo, [Em]ooo [G]ooo [C]ooo
[Em]Ooo [D]ooo [G]ooo, [Em]ooo [G]ooo [C]ooo


[Em]I am not the [D]only [G]traveler, [Em]who has not [G]repaid his [C]debt
I’ve been [Em]searching for a [D]trail to [G]follow again
Take me [Em]back to the [G]night we [C]met
And then [Em]I can [G]tell my[C]self, what the [Em]hell I’m [G]supposed to [C]do
And then [Em]I can [G]tell my[C]self, not to [Em]ride [G]along with [C]you


I had [Em]all and then most of you, [D]some and now [G]none of you.
Take me [Em]back to the [G]night we [C]met.
I don’t [Em]know what I’m supposed to do, [D]haunted by the [G]ghost of you.
Oh, take me [Em]back to the [G]night we [C]met.


When the [Em]night was [G]full of [C]terror
And your [Em]eyes were [G]filled with [C]tears
When you [Em]had not [G]touched me [C]yet
Oh, take me [Em]back to the [G]night we [C]met


I had [Em]all and then most of you, [D]some and now [G]none of you.
Take me [Em]back to the [G]night we [C]met.
I don’t [Em]know what I’m supposed to do, [D]haunted by the [G]ghost of you.
Take me [Em]back to the [G]night we [C]met.
