Intro:
   Am  G   C
   Fmaj7  Fmaj7

Verse 1:
G Am                    G     C
   Every time I beat my demons,
             C
Another ones waiting,
Cmaj7  Fmaj7                  Fmaj7
        Every time I get done healing,
        Fmaj7       G
Another bone starts breaking.

Verse 2:
Am                       G     C
Every time I cut out the cancer,
            C
Another one grows,
Cmaj7  Fmaj7                          Fmaj7
       Been begging this world for an answer,
    Fmaj7  G
But no one knows.

Chorus:
Fmaj7                      G
How deep does the deadwood go,
Am                           G
Straight down to the bone marrow,
C
I cut deep ‘til the blood runs cold,
Dm                            F
How deep does the deadwood go.

Interlude:
   G Am   G   C
   Fmaj7  Fmaj7

Verse 3:
Am                            G
Dad told me the secret to the good life,
C                                 Fmaj7
All the evil inside of you has to die,
                                   Fmaj7
Guess I took it too far I'm on the borderline,
     Fmaj7                  G     Am
Half-saved at the same time half-alive.

Verse 4:
Am                      G
How many scars ‘til the pain ends,
C                     Csus4           C         Fmaj7
How many hard learned truths ‘til the lies make sense,
 Fmaj7                              Fmaj7
"You're almost good enough" says my father,
     Fmaj7         G
It's always just a little bit farther.

Chorus:
Fmaj7                      G
How deep does the deadwood go,
Am                           G
Straight down to the bone marrow,
C
I cut deep ‘til the blood runs cold,
Dm
How deep does the deadwood go.

Bridge:
F                      G
How dark is this black hole,
Am                     G
How long is the narrow road,
C
How far on the burning coals,
Dm                         F   G  Am
How deep does the deadwood go . . ..

Interlude:
G      C
Oh ooh ooh,
    Fmaj7
Ooh ooh, (How deep does the deadwood go).
Fmaj7
Ooh oh ooh oh ooh,
                    Am
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh oooh,
G      C
Oh ooh ooh,
        Fmaj7
Ooh ooh ooh . . ..

Chorus:
Fmaj7                      G
How deep does the deadwood go,
Am                           G
Straight down to the bone marrow,
C
I cut deep ‘til the blood runs cold,
Dm
How deep does the deadwood go.
