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