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
And oh, drew my loneliness
Cm
chasing every last high
D                         D7
Take me back to Blackskin Mile
Bb               Gm       F
I've never met a madman's soul
Eb
that I
           Gm          Cm
Didn't see reflections of that
        F
which I own
Bb
But I know there's something
Am     Gm
better outside
F  Eb        F
So won't you take me back to
Gm
Blackskin Mile?
Gm
I walk a valley of a thousand

streams

In retrieval of my self-esteem
Eb
I see a world in
Cm
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
Though I felt darkness
Cm
in the light
            F
I never let go
Bb                 Gm
That last solitary seconds of my
Bb    Eb
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
Hmm-mm
Cm F Gm
Hmm-mm
Cm F Gm
Hmm-mm
Cm F Gm
Hmm-mm-mm
