INTRO: Am G/B C G F
VERSE 1
Am G/B C
When that blood runs warm with the warm red wine
G F
I miss the life that I left behind
Am G/B C
And when I hear the sound of the blackbird's cry
G C
I know I left in the nick of time
VERSE 2
Am G/B C
Well this road I'm on's gonna turn to sand
G F
And leave me lost in a far-off land
So let me ride the wind 'till I don't look back
G F C
And forget the life that I almost had
PRE-CHORUS:
F C
If I wander 'till I die
May I know whose hand I'm in
F Am
And if my home I'll never find
G F C
Then let me live again
C F G
The longer I run then the less that I find
C F G
Selling my soul for a nickel and dime
C F G
Breaking my heart to keep singing these rhymes
C F G
And losing again
C F G
The longer I run then the less that I find
C F G
Selling my soul for a nickel and dime
C F G
Breaking my heart to keep singing these rhymes
Am G/B C Am G/B C
And losing again
