Chords

[Intro] F G Am/E G (x2) [Verse 1]
F                     G
Oh, to see without my eyes

Am                      Em
The first time that you kissed me

F                       G
Boundless by the time I cried

Am                  Em
I built your walls around me

F                          G
White noise, what an awful sound

Am                Em
Fumbling by Rogue River

F                      G
Feel my feet above the ground

Am             Em
Hand of God, deliver me
[Chorus 1]
Dm                    G
Oh, oh woe-oh-woah is me

    C                   G/D
The first time that you touched me

Dm                    G
Oh, will wonders ever cease?

C              G/D        F
Blessed be the mystery of love
[Interlude 1] F C/E G (x2) F G Am/E G [Verse 2]
F                   G
Lord, I no longer believe

Am/E              G
Drowned in living waters

F                           G
Cursed by the love that I received

Am/E              G
From my brother's daughter

F                     G
Like Hephaestion, who died

Am/E        G
Alexander's lover

F                   G
Now my riverbed has dried

Am/E            G
Shall I find no other?
[Chorus 2]
Dm                    G
Oh, oh woe-oh-woah is me

     C             G/D
I'm running like a plover

Dm                   G
Now I'm prone to misery

     C                G/D         F
The birthmark on your shoulder reminds me
[Interlude 2] F C/E G (x4) F G Am/E G [Verse 3]
F                     G
How much sorrow can I take?

Am/E            G
Blackbird on my shoulder

F                           G
And what difference does it make

Am/E              G
When this love is over?

F                         G
Shall I sleep within your bed

Am/E       G
River of unhappiness

F                       G
Hold your hands upon my head

Am/E              G
Till I breathe my last breath
[Chorus 3]
Dm                    G
Oh, oh woe-oh-woah is me

     C                 G/D
The last time that you touched me

Dm                    G
Oh, will wonders ever cease?

C              G/D        F
Blessed be the mystery of love
[Outro] F C/E G (x4)
