[Verse 1]
G#m D#
I spend most of my days, sitting in a tiny room alone
G#m
It’s like a grave without a headstone
D#
Mother’s worried, that I'm not making any new friends
Fb
But she don't know that friends just play pretends
D#
In the graveyard is where I drink in peace
Cb G#m
I welcome their disease
Fb D#
The dead are better at keeping me company
Cb
So I think it’s time for them to come home with me
[Chorus]
G#m D#
Dig up these corpses lying six feet underground
Fb Cb D#
I know one day I’m gonna let my family down
G#m D#
Dig up these corpses lying, six feet deep
Fb Cb D#
I know the dead won’t talk about me when I sleep
[Interlude]
G#m D# D#7
[Verse 2]
G#m D#
Old miller’s worried, his graveyard has been robbed and now it’s empty
Fb D#
Well they’re not gone, they've gone home with me
G#m
We’re having a dinner party, eating pork and beans
D# Fb D#
It’s time to fill the night, with so much glee
Fb D#
You can call me a freak of nature all you want
Cb G#m
Cause this is who I am
Fb D#
I’d rather be diverse than a cog in the machine
Cb
So please fuck off while you can, meanwhile, I’ll be
[Chorus]
G#m D#
Digging up these corpses lying six feet underground
Fb Cb D#
I know one day I’m gonna let my family down
G#m D#
Dig up those corpses lying, six feet deep
Fb Cb D# Fb
I know the dead won’t talk about me when I sleep
[Verse 3]
D# Fb
You know you’re only wasting your time
Cb F# Fb
Cause I got death stuck on my mind
D# Fb
It's better to be dead, than alive
Cb F# G#m
Cause I’ve turned my back on mankind
[Instrumental]

[Bridge]
C#m
I cheat on my wives, I play with the dead
D#
No wonder everyone has a gun aimed at my head
C#m
They’ll send me to hell while my sins remain unpaid
D#
But if that makes them happy, then I think I’d rather stay
Fb Cb F#
Cause I’d like to see them suffer, it always makes me smile
Fb Cb D#
So I think I’m gonna stay and play with corpses for a while
Fb Cb F#
They’ll lock me up for hundred years, with no one to play
Fb Cb F#
Staying here forever while my body slowly rots away
[Outro]
G#m N.C. D# N.C.
No more corpses will be dug up today
Fb N.C.
Time for me to close my eyes
Cb N.C. D# N.C.
And lay 'til I decay
G#m N.C. D# N.C.
I'll leave a legacy when I'm gone
Fb N.C.
The memories will fade
Cb N.C. D# N.C. G#m
But at least I'll have this song
