 I shiver  and shake the warm air cold
 I'm alone on my own
 In every  mistake I dig this hole
 Through my skin and bones
 It's harder  starting  over
 Than never  to have changed
 With Blackbirds  following  me
 I'm digging  out my grave
 They close  in, swallowing  me
 The pain,  it comes in waves
 I'm getting  back what  I gave
 I sweat  through the sheet as daylight fades
 As I waste away
It  traps me inside mistakes Ive made
 That's the price I pay
 It's harder  starting  over
 Than never  to have changed
 With Blackbirds  following  me
 Im digging  out my grave
 They close  in, swallowing  me
 The pain,  it comes in waves
 I'm getting  back what  I gave
 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
 Like a well full of poison / a rotten core
 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
 Put pennies on the eyes / let the dead men sing
 Blackbirds  following  me
 Im digging  out my grave
 They close  in, swallowing  me
 The pain,  it comes in waves
 I'm getting  back what  I gave
 I'm getting  back what  I gave
 I'm getting  back what  I gave
 I'm getting  back what  I gave
 So this was my first chord, i hope it works for you too! :)
