[Intro]
C D Em/B D (x2)
[Verse 1]
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
Em Bm
I built your walls around me
C D
White noise, what an awful sound
Em Bm
Fumbling by Rogue River
C D
Feel my feet above the ground
Em Bm
Hand of God, deliver me
[Chorus 1]
Am D
Oh, oh woe-oh-woah is me
G G/A G/B G/D G/B D/A
The first 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
[Interlude 1]
C G/B D (x4)
C D Em/B D
[Verse 2]
C D
Lord, I no longer believe
Em/B D
Drowned in living waters
C D
Cursed by the love that I received
Em/B D
From my brother's daughter
C D
Like Hephaestion, who died
Em/B D
Alexander's lover
C D
Now my riverbed has dried
Em/B D
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 D
Blackbird on my shoulder
C D
And what difference does it make
Em/B D
When this love is over?
C D
Shall I sleep within your bed
Em/B D
River of unhappiness
C D
Hold your hands upon my head
Em/B D
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
[Outro]
