Cm    D#       A#      G#       A#
Some days I'm walking backwards
Cm        D#  A#       G#
Truth be told I don't mind
Cm   D#       A#      G#       A#
Some days I'm walking backwards
Cm        A#  D#       G#
Truth be told I don't mind

Some days I'm almost there
Back to the beginning of time
Some days I'm on the right track
And there you are, on my mind

Chorus:
F              Gm            D#
Just like the moon always returning
F       Gm            D#
To the cradle in the dawn
F             Gm               D#
I don't know why it feels so natural
F        Gm                 D#
And the whole world sings along

Some days I'm walking backwards
Back to the beginning of time
You say I'm on the right track
Truth be told I don't mind

Yesterday I saw you with your hands up in the sky
I saw the whole thing twice
I said I been here before
Into the future of my life

Chorus:
Just like the moon always returning
To the pailing in the dawn
I don't know why it feels so natural
And the whole world sings along
I don't know why it feels so natural
And the whole world sings along

Some days I'm walking backwards
Truth be told I don't mind
Some days I'm walking backwards
Truth be told I don't mind
Some days I'm almost there
