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