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
