[Intro]
F Am Dm Am C
[Verse 1]
F Am
Oh, to see without my eyes
Dm Am C
The first time that you kissed me
F Am
Boundless by the time I cried
Dm Am C
I built your walls around me
F Am
White noise, what an awful sound
Dm Am C
Fumbling by Rogue River
F Am
Feel my feet above the ground
Dm Am C
Hand of God, deliver me
[Chorus 1]
Gm C
Oh, oh woe-oh-woah is me
Dm Am C
The first time that you touched me
Gm C
Oh, will wonders ever cease?
Dm Am C F
Blessed be the mystery of love
[Verse 2]
F Am
Lord, I no longer believe
Dm Am C
Drowned in living waters
F Am
Cursed by the love that I received
Dm Am C
From my brother's daughter
F Am
Like Hephaestion, who died
Dm Am C
Alexander's lover
F Am
Now my riverbed has dried
Dm Am C
Shall I find no other?
[Chorus 2]
Gm C
Oh, oh woe-oh-woah is me
Dm Am C
I'm running like a plover
Gm C
Now I'm prone to misery
Dm Am C F
The birthmark on your shoulder reminds me
[Verse 3]
F Am
How much sorrow can I take?
Dm Am C
Blackbird on my shoulder
F Am
And what difference does it make
Dm Am C
When this love is over?
F Am
Shall I sleep within your bed
Dm Am C
River of unhappiness
F Am
Hold your hands upon my head
Dm Am C
Till I breathe my last breath
[Chorus 3]
Gm C
Oh, oh woe-oh-woah is me
Dm Am C
The last time that you touched me
Gm C
Oh, will wonders ever cease?
Dm Am C F
Blessed be the mystery of love
