Dm
I shiver and shake the warm air cold 
                 Bb   C   
I'm alone on my own                      
   Dm                                   
In every mistake I dig this hole                  
                     Bb    C
Through my skin and bones


[Pre-Chorus]
      F     F/C       Dm
It's harder starting over 
      Bb             C
Than never to have changed


[Chorus]
     Bb             C
With Blackbirds following me 
       Dm          F  Gm           
I'm digging out my grave 
       Bb          C
They close in, swallowing me 
     Dm               F   Gm
The pain, it comes in waves 
     Bb           N.C.
I'm getting back what I gave


[Verse 2]
  Dm
I sweat through the sheet as daylight fades  
             Bb   C
As I waste away 
Dm
It traps me inside mistakes Ive made 
                    Bb  C 
That's the price I pay


[Pre-Chorus]
      F        F/C     Dm
It's harder starting over 
      Bb             C
Than never to have changed


[Chorus]
        Bb         C
With Blackbirds following me 
    Dm             F Gm
Im digging out my grave 
       Bb         C
They close in, swallowing me 
     Dm                F Gm 
The pain, it comes in waves 
     Bb           F   C  Dm
I'm getting back what I gave


[Bridge]
Dm
I drop to the floor like I did before 
Stop watching / I'm coughing / I can't be more            
What I want and what I need are at constant war 
        F                       Gm
Like a well full of poison / a rotten core 
     Dm
The blood goes thin / the fever stings 
And I shake from the hell that the habits bring                       
Let the sick ones down / the bells will ring
       F                          Gm
Put pennies on the eyes / let the dead men sing


[Chorus]
   Bb         C
Blackbirds following me 
    Dm             F Gm
Im digging out my grave 
       Bb         C
They close in, swallowing me 
     Dm                F Gm 
The pain, it comes in waves 
     Bb           F   C  Dm C
I'm getting back what I gave
     Bb           F   C  Dm C
I'm getting back what I gave
     Bb           F   C  Dm C
I'm getting back what I gave
     Bb           F   C  Dm
I'm getting back what I gave
