  C                      D
Oh, to see without my eyes

   Em                   Bm
The first time that you kissed me

   C                         D
Boundless by the time I cried

I built your walls around me

White noise, what an awful sound

Fumbling by Rogue River

Feel my feet above the ground

Hand of God, deliver me

Oh, oh woe-oh-woah is me

Oh, will wonders ever cease?

Lord, I no longer believe

Em/B              Bm
Drowned in living waters

C                             D
Cursed by the love that I received

From my brother's daughter

Like Hephaestion, who died

Alexander's lover

C                     D
Now my riverbed has dried

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

     G G/A G/B G/D G/B D/A
I'm running like a plover

Am                    D
Now I'm prone to misery

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

Em/B              Bm
Blackbird on my shoulder

C                            D
And what difference does it make

Em/B               Bm
When this love is over?

C                          D
Shall I sleep within your bed

Em/B        Bm
River of unhappiness

C                        D
Hold your hands upon my head

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

     G   G/A  G/B  G/D  G/B    D/A 
The last time that you touched me

Am                      D
Oh, will wonders ever cease? 

G  G/A G/B G/D G/B D/A     C
Blessed be the mystery of love
