Intro: Bm D G

Verse 1:
Bm        D
Dig up my bones
              G
Piece me back together
Bm                  D
You said you were sorry
                      G
But I should've known better
Bm                    D                 G
You told me I wasn't what you had asked God for
Bm                    D
xxx couldn't save us, and you always wanted more
G
And more, and more, and more

Chorus 1:
         Bm                 D
And I'll fix myself to be loved by you
G
But to love is to look for someone you won't lose
       Bm                D
And if you do, and if it breaks
G                                          Bm  D
You can't bring me back from my grave, babe
             G
So dig up my bones

Verse 2:
Bm          D                  G
Now her body’s on the bed that buries us
Bm              D
You're right on top of her
            G
You left me in the dust
G
What have you become?
         Bm
Now I'm six feet under
       D
I'm buried alive
      G
And I hear who you see, what you saw in my eyes
        Bm            D                           G
And I'm watchin’ from below, you loving her better
              Bm
And then you relapse, you come back
      D                        G
Then ask me to forgive it and forget her

Chorus 2:
         Bm               D
And I'll fix myself to be loved by you
G
But to love is to look for someone you won't lose
    Bm         D
And if you do, and if it breaks
G                                          Bm  D
You can't bring me back from my grave, babe
                  G    Bm  D
So dig up my bones
                  G
So dig up my bones
