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

But lately I just drive the people out
D A E Bm
Hopin' that god might stay
