[Verse 1]
C D
Oh to see without my eyes
Em D
The first time that you kissed me
C D
Boundless by the time I cried
Em D
I built your walls around me
C D
White noise what an awful sound
Em D
Fumbling by Rogue River
C D
Feel my feet above the ground
Em D
Hand of God deliver me
[Chorus 1]
Am D
Oh oh woe-oh-woah is me
G D
The first time that you touched me
Am D
Oh will wonders ever cease
G D C
Blessed be the mystery of love
[Interlude 1]

[Verse 2]
C D
Lord I no longer believe
Em D
Drowned in living waters
C D
Cursed by the love that I received
Em D
From my brother's daughter
C D
Like Hephaestion who died
Em D
Alexander's lover
C D
Now my riverbed has dried
Em D
Shall I find no other
[Chorus 2]
Am D
Oh oh woe-oh-woah is me
G D
I'm running like a plover
Am D
Now I'm prone to misery
G D C
The birthmark on your shoulder reminds me
[Interlude 2]

C D Em
[Verse 3]
C D
How much sorrow can I take
Em D
Blackbird on my shoulder
C D
And what difference does it make
Em D
When this love is over
C D
Shall I sleep within your bed
Em D
River of unhappiness
C D
Hold your hands upon my head
Em D
Till I breathe my last breath
[Chorus 3]
Am D
Oh oh woe-oh-woah is me
G D
The last time that you touched me
Am D
Oh will wonders ever cease
G D C
Blessed be the mystery of love
