[Verse 1]
Em B
I spend most of my days, sitting in a tiny room alone
Em
It’s like a grave without a headstone
B
Mother’s worried, that I'm not making any new friends
C
But she don't know that friends just play pretends
B
In the graveyard is where I drink in peace
G Em
I welcome their disease
C B
The dead are better at keeping me company
G
So I think it’s time for them to come home with me
[Chorus]
Em B
Dig up these corpses lying six feet underground
C G B
I know one day I’m gonna let my family down
Em B
Dig up these corpses lying, six feet deep
C G B
I know the dead won’t talk about me when I sleep
[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
Em B
Old miller’s worried, his graveyard has been robbed and now it’s empty
C B
Well they’re not gone, they've gone home with me
Em
We’re having a dinner party, eating pork and beans
B C B
It’s time to fill the night, with so much glee
C B
You can call me a freak of nature all you want
G Em
Cause this is who I am
C B
I’d rather be diverse than a cog in the machine
G
So please fuck off while you can, meanwhile, I’ll be
[Chorus]
Em B
Digging up these corpses lying six feet underground
C G B
I know one day I’m gonna let my family down
Em B
Dig up those corpses lying, six feet deep
C G B C
I know the dead won’t talk about me when I sleep
[Verse 3]
B C
You know you’re only wasting your time
G D C
Cause I got death stuck on my mind
B C
It's better to be dead, than alive
G D Em
Cause I’ve turned my back on mankind
[Instrumental]
Em B C G D
Em B Bm E
[Bridge]
Am
I cheat on my wives, I play with the dead
B
No wonder everyone has a gun aimed at my head
Am
They’ll send me to hell while my sins remain unpaid
B
But if that makes them happy, then I think I’d rather stay
C G D
Cause I’d like to see them suffer, it always makes me smile
C G B
So I think I’m gonna stay and play with corpses for a while
C G D
They’ll lock me up for hundred years, with no one to play
C G D
Staying here forever while my body slowly rots away
[Outro]
Em N.C. B N.C.
No more corpses will be dug up today
C N.C.
Time for me to close my eyes
G N.C. B N.C.
And lay 'til I decay
Em N.C. B N.C.
I'll leave a legacy when I'm gone
C N.C.
The memories will fade
G N.C. B N.C. Em
But at least I'll have this song
