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