Verse:
        Cm                      Bb       Eb
When my blood runs warm with an old red wine
   Bb                   Ab    Eb
I miss the life that I left behind
           Cm                    Bb           Eb
And when I hear the sound of the blackbird's cry
  Bb                  Ab       Eb
I know I left in the nick of time

Verse:
          Cm                  Bb       Eb
Well this road I'm on's gonna turn to sand
    Bb                  Ab       Eb
And leave me lost in a far-off land
          Cm                    Bb          Eb
So let me ride the wind 'till I don't look back
       Bb                   Ab      Eb
And forget the life that I almost had

Pre-Chorus:
     Ab       Cm     Eb
If I wander 'till I die
      Ab          Cm        Gm7
May I know whose hands I'm in
          Ab         Cm    Eb
And if my home I'll never find
Bb           Ab     Eb
Then let me live again

Chorus:
    Eb                     Ab           Eb
The longer I run then the less that I find
                      Ab          Eb
Selling my soul for a nickel and dime
Eb                    Ab                  Eb
Breaking my heart to keep singing these rhymes
    Bb      Cm
And losing again

Verse:
        Cm                    Bb        Eb
Tell my brother please not to look for me
  Bb                    Ab       Eb
I ain't the man that I used to be
          Cm                      Bb       Eb
But if my saviour comes could you let him know
       Bb              Ab       Eb
I've gone away for to save my soul

Pre-Chorus:
     Ab       Cm     Eb
If I wander 'till I die
      Ab          Cm        Gm7
May I know whose hands I'm in
          Ab         Cm    Eb
And if my home I'll never find
Bb           Ab     Eb
Then let me live again

Chorus -x2-:
    Eb                     Ab           Eb
The longer I run then the less that I find
                      Ab          Eb
Selling my soul for a nickel and dime
Eb                    Ab                  Eb
Breaking my heart to keep singing these rhymes
    Bb      Cm
And losing again
