Em

                  Am
There's quiet resignation
                      C
in the corners of your eyes
                    G
A bleak and brutal sadness
                    Em
nobody could contrive
                    Am
No ocean deep discussion
                    C
could unravel or unwind
                     D

[Verse 2]
                      Em

                            Am
There's freedom to your movement
                           C
when the music hits its stride
                  G
So delicately cadenced,
                 Em
self evidently right
                      Am
No cluster of sweet melody
                    C
could dampen or outshine
                     D

[Chorus]
                   Am

     G         C
In a rush of blood
                D
I threw it all away
G     D
Oh lord
            Em     F     C        D
what was I thinking of that day


[Verse 3]
                      Em
The blackbird at your window
                        Am
Singing blue into the day
                                C
By the time you'd turned to listen
                    G
Sang up and flew away
                     Em
No love song of devotion
                       Am
However delicately played
                        C
could pretend to replace
                        D

[Chorus]
                   Am

     G         C
In a rush of blood
                D
I threw it all away
G     D
Oh lord
            Em     F     C
what was I thinking of that day


[Outro]
D
   It lingered long upon my lips
G      D         C
  Then up and flew away
G        F#           C
  Singing up a blue blue day
G          D       C
  Singing up a blue blue day
G      D        C
  She up and flew away
