Introduction:
Cm F Gm
Hmm, well
Gm
I lost my shadow in violent sin
Never knew the search would be within
Eb Cm
Drew a picture of my only desire
D D7
Take me back to Blackskin Mile
Gm
I thought my karma would be my fate
Never saw the sun until it was too late
Eb Cm
And oh, drew my loneliness, chasing every last high
D D7
Take me back to Blackskin Mile
Bb Gm F Eb
I've never met a madman's soul, that I
Gm Cm F
Didn't see reflections of that which I own
Bb Am Gm
But I know there's something better outside
F Eb F Gm
So won't you take me back to Blackskin Mile?
Gm
I walk a valley of a thousand streams
In retrieval of my self-esteem
Eb Cm
I see a world in you where I may dream high
D D7
Take me back to Blackskin Mile
Bb Gm F
I have fallen but I kept my soul
Eb Dm Cm
Though I felt darkness in the light
F
I never let go
Bb Gm Bb Eb
That last solitary seconds of my life, won't you
F Gm
Take me back to Blackskin Mile?
Cm Gm
And with our resolutions high
Cm Gm
And with our pretty words in lies
Cm Bb
Survival comes with sacrifice
Eb
I run toward the burning
D D7
To feel alive, ooh
Gm
Found my shadow in a violent sky
And in my bleeding she'd watch me cry, Lord
Eb
Tears of happiness
Cm
My only one desire
D F Gm
Take me back to Blackskin Mile
Cm
I said
F Gm
Take me back to Blackskin Mile
Cm
One more time
F Gm
Take me back to Blackskin Mile
Cm
Oh, yes
F Gm
Take me back to Blackskin Mile
Cm F Gm
