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