D Em C G 


 
       D                            Em 
'Cause I don't feel human anynmore, 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 
 

 
    D                            Em 
And I don't trust anyone anymore lover 
                                C 
They all want money or anything other 
                              G 
then whats good or what truly stays 

 D                                 Em 
All I want are your beautiful legs around me 
                           C 
On that Spanish beach you found me 
                            G 
For the rest of my earthly days 
 

 
 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     D 
Live and learning how to walk backwards

    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 
And nowdays I dont shake or shiver 
                          C 
When it's simply time for dinnner 
                     G 
My backward walk's enough 
 

 
 C               G        D    Em 
This is how you walk backwards 
C            G            D         Em

C            G                D             Em 
Everything I ever did, hell, what's it all worth 
          C               G        D    D  D

Em       G                D          C 
And I forgive you for the things you did 
Em              G         D        C 
you're the red, underdog, comeback kid 
Em        G                  D          C 
And I dont blame you for the things you did 
Em                   G               D         C 
My father taught me, keep it walkin', always forgive
