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