Blackskin Mile Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Em]Well
I lost my shadow in violent sin
Never knew the search [F#m]would be [Em]within
[C]I drew a picture of m[Am]y only de[B]sire
[Em]Take me back to Bl[B]ac[Em]kskin Mile
I thought my [F#m]karma would

[Verse 2]
[Em]
be my fate
Never saw the sun until it was too late
And [C]oh, drew my loneliness,
[Am]chasing every last high[B]
[Em]Take me back [B]to Blackskin Mile

[Verse 3]
I [G]never met [D]a madman's s[Em]oul[D]
[C]That I didn't see re[G]flections
[Am]of that which I own[D]
But [G]I know there's [D]something
better [Em]outside[D]
[G]So, won't [C]you take me
[D]back to Blackskin Mile?
[Em]

[Verse 4]
I walk a valley of a thousand streams
In retrieval of my self-esteem
[C]I I see a world in y[Am]ou where I
may dream [B]high
Take me back to Blackskin Mile

[Verse 5]
I [G]have fallen, but I kep[D]t my [Em]soul[D]
Though [C]I felt dark[G]ness in the light,
[Am]I never le[D]t go
The [G]last solitary [D]seconds of my [Em]life[D]
Won't [C]you take me back [D]to
Blackskin Mile? [Em]Yes[Am]

[Verse 6]
And with our resolu[Em]tions high
[Am]And with our pretty words
[Em]in lies[Am]
Survival comes [G]with sacrifice
[C]I run toward the burning to [B]feel alive

[Verse 7]
Oo[Em]h, found my shadow
in a violent sky
And in my bleeding she'd watch me cry,
[C]Lord
Tears of hap[Am]piness,
my only [B]one desire
Take me [D]back [Em]to Blackskin Mile

[Verse 8]
I [Am]said, take me Black
[D]to [Em]Blackskin Mile
One more time,
[Am]take me back[D] to Bl[Em]ackskin Mile
Oh [Am]yes, take me [D]Black [Em]to Blackskin Mile

[Outro 1]
