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