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