Verse 1: (play A-chord riff throughout)
I've been digging a hole tonight, on my knees beneath the moon
All I need is a place to lie, guess a grave will have to do
Won't you give me two minutes please, just let me cover my eyes
All the hammer and scrape has been chipping away at the luster of life
Chorus:
[A]So I (move, move) hour, but I am so tir[D2]ed
[A](move, move) If I can shake myself I can da[D2]nce with you
Interlude: (A) or play A-chord riff
Verse 2: (play A-chord riff throughout)
Though my body is far from old, I'm bound to useless use
And I can't fake a first to throw through the crust of the earth
If you find me don't wake me, I can't be shaken awake
If you don't stare at the dark you can never feel bleak
Life starts to lose its taste
Chorus:
[A]So I (move, move) hour, but I am so tir[D2]ed
[A](move, move) If I can shake myself I can d[D2]ance with you
[A](I hear drums) You wouldn't think I'm the type of g[D2]uy
[A](you are young) Business is the kind of life [D2]I wish I could spend, the blasted you
Interlude: (A - D2) or play A + D2-chord riffs
Outro chorus chords: (repeat several times until fade-out)
[A]If you do take too too much
[E]If you do take too too much
[D2]If you do take too too much
[D2]If you do take too too much
