[Intro] C D Em D/F# C D Em D/F# [Verse 1]
C                     D/F#
Oh, to see without my eyes

    Em                  D/F#
The first time that you kissed me

C                        D/F#
Boundless by the time I cried

  Em                D/F#
I built your walls around me

C                           D/F#
White noise, what an awful sound

Em                D/F#
Fumbling by Rogue River

C                       D/F#
Feel my feet above the ground

Em             D/F#
Hand of God, deliver me
[Chorus 1]
Am                    D/F#
Oh, oh woe-oh-woah is me

    Em    D/F# G    D/F# G       D/F#
The first time that you  touched me

Am                    D/F#
Oh, will wonders ever cease?

 Em D/D# G      D/F#       C
Blessed  be the mystery of love
[Interlude 1] C C Em D Am Am G D C C G G Em Em D/F# D/F# [Verse 2]
C                   D/F#
Lord, I no longer believe

Em/B              D/F#
Drowned in living waters

C                           D/F#
Cursed by the love that I received

Em/B              D/D#
From my brother's daughter

C                     D/F#
Like Hephaestion, who died

Em/B         D/F#
Alexander's lover

C                    D/F#
Now my riverbed has dried

Em/B            D/F#
Shall I find no other?
[Chorus 2]
Am                    D/F#
Oh, oh woe-oh-woah is me

    Em D/F# G    D/F# G D/F#
I'm running like a   plover

Am                   D/F#
Now I'm prone to misery

    Em   D/F# G  D/F# G    D/F#  C
The birthmark on your shoulder reminds me
[Interlude 2] C G D Am Am G D C C G G Am Am G D C C G G Em Em G G [Verse 3]
C                     G
How much sorrow can I take?

Em              D
Blackbird on my shoulder

C                           D/F#
And what difference does it make

Em                D/F#
When this love is over?

C                         D/F#
Shall I sleep within your bed

Em         D/F#
River of unhappiness

C                       D/F#
Hold your hands upon my head

Em                D/F#
Till I breathe my last breath
[Chorus 3]
Am                    D/F#
Oh, oh woe-oh-woah is me

    Em   D/F# G    D/F# G       D/F#
The last time that you  touched me

Am                     D/F#
Oh, will wonders ever cease?

 Em D/F# G  D/F# G   D/F#   C
Blessed  be the  mystery of love
