Verse
A E B F#m
I wish I could cut back safe and sound
A E B F#m
Maybe I would kick back, hang around
A E B F#m
But lately I just chase my tail around
A E B F#m
Hopin' that god posts bail
[Chorus]
E B
Bones in the yard
A E
They're down there way too far
E B A
It's like they were meant to stay a long, long time
A E B F#m X2
I know they're mine
[Verse 2]
A E B F#m
I wish I could lay flat like the ground
A E B F#m
Maybe I would grow grass, make a town
A E B F#m
But lately I just drive the people out
A E B F#m
Hopin' that god might stay
[Chorus]
E B
Bones in the yard
A E
They're down there way too far

It's like they were meant to stay a long, long time
A E B F#m X2
I know they're mine

Shiny like an old car, strong and loud
A E B F#m
But lately I just pass by like a cloud
A E B F#m
Hopin' that god makes rain
[Chorus]
E B
Bones in the yard
A E
They're down there way too far
E B A
It's like they were meant to stay a long, long time
A E B F#m X2
I know they're mine
