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