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
