[Verse 1]
Bm A E
This could be the saddest dusk ever seen,
F#m Bm A E
turn to a miracle high-alive.
F#m Bm A E
My mind is racing as it always will,
F#m Bm A E
my hand is tired, my heart aches, I'm half a world away here.
[Bridge]
F#m G G E
My head sworn to go it alone and hold it along, haul it along,
E G G E E
and hold it, go it alone, hold it along and hold.
[Verse 2]
A E F#m Bm
Oh, the lonely deep sit hollow, I'm half a world, half the world
A E F#m Bm
away, my shoes are gone, my life spent.
A E F#m Bm
I had too much to drink, I didn't think and I didn't think
A E F#m
of you, I guess that's all I needed
G G E E
to go it alone and hold it along, haul it along and hold it.
[Chorus]
G G E E
Blackbirds, backwards, forwards and fall and hold, oh,
A E F#m Bm
this lonely world is wasted, pathetic eyes high -
A E F#m Bm
alive, blind to the tide that's turned the sea,
A E F#m Bm
this storm it came up strong. It shook' the trees and blew away
A E F#m
our fear, I couldn't even hear
[Bridge]
G G E E
to go it alone and hold it along, haul it along and hold it,
G G E E
to go it alone and hold it along, haul it along and hold it,
G G E E
to go it alone and hold it along, haul it along and hold it.
[Chorus]
G G E E
Blackbirds, backwards, forwards, and fall and hold, oh,
A E F#m Bm
this could be the saddest dusk I ever seen.
A E F#m Bm
Turn to a miracle, high-alive, my mind is
A E F#m Bm
racing as it always will. My hand is tired,
A E F#m Bm E A
my heart aches, I'm half a world away. Go.
