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

Hopin' that god might stay
