Am                G                 D           Dsus4  D  Dsus2   Em
This could be the saddest dusk I've ever seen
          Am        G                D      Dsus4  D  Dsus2
turn to a miracle,      high alive.
Em         Am       G           D           Dsus4  D  Dsus2
My mind is racing,      as it always will.
   Em              Am
My hands tired, my heart aches.
    G                D      Dsus4  D  Dsus2    Em           F
I'm half a world away here,                my head sworn to go it alone,
F                  D             Dsus4     D    Dsus4  D  Dsus2
and hold it along, haul it along       and hold it.
F                                 D      Dsus4    D
Go it alone, and hold it along.   Oh................


Dsus4  D  Dsus2     G           D        Dsus4  D  Dsus2
Oh              lonely deep sit hollow.
Em            Am                 G
Half a world, half a world away.
   D               Dsus4  D  Dsus2     Em               Am
My shoes are gone,                  my life spent.
     G                      D   Dsus4  D  Dsus2
I've had too much to drink.
   Em             Am                    G
I didn't think, I didn't think of you.
  D                Dsus4  D  Dsus2 Em
I guess that's all        I   need-ed.
   F                               D             Dsus4     D    Dsus4  D  Dsus2
To go it alone, and hold it along, haul it along,       and hold it.

Backwards, blackbirds, forwards and fall.

Dsus4  D  Dsus2     G           D        Dsus4  D  Dsus2
Oh              lonely world is wasted.
Em             Am         G
Pathetic eyes, high alive.
D                 Dsus4  D Dsus2      Em               Am
Blind to the tide                that turns the sea.
     G                           D   Dsus4  D  Dsus2
This storm it came up strong.
   Em                  Am                   G
It shook the trees and blew away our fear.
  D          Dsus4  D  Dsus2    Em
I couldn't even          hear.

    F                              D             Dsus4     D    Dsus4  D  Dsus2
To go it alone, and hold it along, haul it along,       and hold it.
F                                 D      Dsus4    D
Go it alone, and hold it along.   Oh................

Go it alone, and hold it along, haul it along,       and hold it.
F
Blackbirds, backwards, forwards and fall.

D     Dsus4    D       Dsus4  D  Dsus2
Oh..............        Oh,
G                 D             Dsus4  D  Dsus2
this could be the saddest dusk
  Em         Am            G         D  Dsus4    D  Dsus2   Em
I ever seen      turn to a miracle,           high  alive.
Am         G        D  Dsus4     D  Dsus2 Em
My mind is racing,            as it   al--ways will.
   Am               G
My hands tired, my heart aches.
     D           Dsus4     D     Dsus2    Em
I'm half a world        a  -   way.


Am  D  G
