Verse
C G D Am
I wish I could cut back safe and sound
C G D Am
Maybe I would kick back, hang around
C G D Am
But lately I just chase my tail around
C G D Am
Hopin' that god posts bail
[Chorus]
G D
Bones in the yard
C G
They're down there way too far
G D C
It's like they were meant to stay a long, long time
C G D Am X2
I know they're mine
[Verse 2]
C G D Am
I wish I could lay flat like the ground
C G D Am
Maybe I would grow grass, make a town
C G D Am
But lately I just drive the people out
C G D Am
Hopin' that god might stay
[Chorus]
G D
Bones in the yard
C G
They're down there way too far
G D C
It's like they were meant to stay a long, long time
C G D Am X2
I know they're mine
[Verse 3]
C G D Am
I wish I was a brass band making sound
C G D Am
Shiny like an old car, strong and loud
C G D Am
But lately I just pass by like a cloud
C G D Am
Hopin' that god makes rain
[Chorus]
G D
Bones in the yard
C G
They're down there way too far
G D C
It's like they were meant to stay a long, long time
C G D Am X2
I know they're mine
[Verse 4]
C G D Am
I wish I could lay flat like the ground
C G D Am
Maybe I would grow grass, make a town
C G D Am
But lately I just drive the people out
C G D Am
Hopin' that god might stay
