| Am         | G          | D          | Em         |

[Verse 1]
Am                G            D
This could be the saddest dusk ever seen,
Em          Am      G       D
  turn to a miracle   high-alive.
Em         Am     G                  D
My mind is racing   as it always will,
   Em                Am               G             D
my hand is tired, my heart aches, I'm half a world away here.

[Bridge]
   Em            F               F              D
My head sworn to go it alone and hold it along, haul it along,
    D        F            F                 D           D
and hold it, go it alone, hold it along and hold.

[Verse 2]
        G               D           Em            Am
Oh, the lonely deep sit hollow, I'm half a world, half the world
 G       D                  Em         Am
away, my shoes are gone, my life spent.
  G               D        Em                 Am
I had too much to drink, I didn't think and I didn't think
   G      D                  Em
of you, I guess that's all I needed
   F               F              D                 D
to go it alone and hold it along, haul it along and hold it.

[Chorus]
F                      F                     D     D
Blackbirds, backwards, forwards and fall and hold,   oh,
     G               D         Em          Am
this lonely world is wasted, pathetic eyes high -
 G           D                  Em            Am
alive, blind to the tide that's turned the sea,
     G                D          Em                   Am
this storm it came up strong. It shook' the trees and blew away
    G       D             Em
our fear, I couldn't even hear

[Bridge]
   F               F              D                 D
to go it alone and hold it along, haul it along and hold it,
   F               F              D                 D
to go it alone and hold it along, haul it along and hold it,
   F               F              D                 D
to go it alone and hold it along, haul it along and hold it.

[Chorus]
F                      F                      D     D
Blackbirds, backwards, forwards, and fall and hold,   oh,
G                 D              Em        Am
this could be the saddest dusk I ever seen.
          G        D       Em       Am
Turn to a miracle,   high-alive, my mind is
G      D                   Em    Am
racing   as it always will.   My hand is tired,
    G               D             Em   Am   D       G
my heart aches, I'm half a world away. Go.
