Verse
C# G# D# A#m
I wish I could cut back safe and sound
C# G# D# A#m
Maybe I would kick back, hang around
C# G# D# A#m
But lately I just chase my tail around
C# G# D# A#m
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# A#m X2
I know they're mine
[Verse 2]
C# G# D# A#m
I wish I could lay flat like the ground
C# G# D# A#m
Maybe I would grow grass, make a town
C# G# D# A#m
But lately I just drive the people out
C# G# D# A#m
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# A#m X2
I know they're mine
[Verse 3]
C# G# D# A#m
I wish I was a brass band making sound
C# G# D# A#m
Shiny like an old car, strong and loud
C# G# D# A#m
But lately I just pass by like a cloud
C# G# D# A#m
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# A#m X2
I know they're mine
[Verse 4]
C# G# D# A#m
I wish I could lay flat like the ground
C# G# D# A#m
Maybe I would grow grass, make a town
C# G# D# A#m
But lately I just drive the people out
C# G# D# A#m
Hopin' that god might stay
