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

I wish I could lay flat like the ground
B F# C# G#m
