Em x4
Em
I fell in to the shallow ground
G
It soon became my grave
Em
Roll my bones like a dice and play
G
And dig me with your spade
C Em
And you will steal the light
C Em
And use it for your fire
Em C G Am Em
And I will still be dead
Em C G Am Em
And I will still be dead
Em
Hold my breath I’ll come back for it
G
There’s dirt still in my lungs
Em
The insects hide while you lure his eyes
G
Coffins for our cars
C Em
And you will steal the light
C Em
And use it for your fire
Em C G Am Em
And I will still be dead
Em C G Am Em
And I will still be dead
Em
Wake me up like Lazarus
G
And call me to your side
Em
Tell me what to say and feel
G
So I can stay alive
C Em
And you will steal the light
C Em
And use it for your fire
Em C G Am Em
And I will still be dead
Em C G Am Em
And I will still be dead
