[Intro]
D Em C G
D Em C G
[Verse 1]
D Em
Well, I don't feel human anymore, mama
C
When am I ever gonna get that karma
G
You said it was heading back down this way
D Em
The knife inside my back feels so familiar
C
Reminds me of the real her
G
Cold and sharp pocket blade
[Verse 2]
D Em
And I don't trust anyone anymore, lover
C
They all want money or anything other
G
Than what's good or what truly stays
D Em
All I want are your beautiful legs around me
C
On that Spanish beach where you found me
G
For the rest of my earthly days
[Chorus]
C G D Em
This is how you walk backwards
C G D Em
Everything I ever said I said in reverse
C G D Em
Everything I ever did, hell, what's it all worth
C G D
Live and learn how to walk backwards
[Interlude 1]
Am C G D
[Verse 3]
D Em
And I said plenty things I didn't mean back then
C
I blame it on my thick skin
G
Like a dog that's beat too much
D Em
Nowadays I don't shake or shiver
C
When it's simply time for dinner
G
My backward walk's enough
[Chorus]
C G D Em
This is how you walk backwards
C G D Em
Everything I ever said I said in reverse
C G D Em
Everything I ever did, hell, what's it all worth
C G D
Live and learn how to walk backwards
[Interlude 2]
Em D/F# G C C
[Bridge]
Em D/F# G C
And I forgive you for the things you did
Em D/F# G C
The overrated, underdog, comeback kid
Em D/F# G C
And I don't blame you for the things you did
Em D/F# G C
My father taught me keep it walkin', always forgive
[Chorus]
C G D Em
This is how you walk backwards
C G D Em
Everything I ever said I said in reverse
C G D Em
Everything I ever did, hell, what's it all worth
C G D
Live and learn how to walk backwards
Well, I don't feel human anymore, Mama
When am I ever gonna get that karma
You said was heading back down this way?
The knife inside my back feels so familiar
Reminds me of the real her
A cold and sharp pocket blade
And I don't trust anyone anymore, lover
They all want money or anything other
Than what's good and what truly stays
All I want are your beautiful legs around me
On that Spanish beach where you found me
For the rest of my earthly days
This is how you walk backwards
Everything I ever said, I said in reverse
Everything I ever did, hell, what's it all worth?
Live and learn how to walk backwards
And I said plenty things I didn't mean back then
I blame it on my thick skin
Like a dog that's beat too much
Nowadays, I don't shake or shiver
When it's simply time for dinner
My backward walk's enough
This is how you walk backwards
Everything I ever said, I said in reverse
Everything I ever did, hell, what's it all worth?
Live and learn how to walk backwards
And I forgive you for the things you did
The overrated underdog, the comeback kid
I don't blame you for the things you did
My father taught me, keep it walking, always forgive
So, this is how you walk backwards
Everything I ever said, I said in reverse
Everything I ever did, hell, what's it all worth?
Live and learn how to walk backwards
