1. Last night I dug your picture out from my old dresser drawer.

        A

    I set it on the table and I talked to it 'til four.

         A                                                   D

    I read some old love letters right up 'til the break of dawn,

               A                        E                       A

    yeah, I've been sittin' alone diggin' up bones.

 

             A

2. Then I went through the jewellery and I found our wedding rings,

             A

    I've put mine on my finger and I gave yours a fling

          A                                               D

    across this lonely bedroom of our recent broken home,

                  A                       E                       A

    yeah, tonight I'm sittin' alone diggin' up bones.

 

                         A

I'm diggin' up bones, I'm diggin' up bones,

                                                        E

exhuming things that’s better left alone.

       A                                         D

I'm resurrecting memories of a love that's dead and gone,

               A                      E                       A

yeah, tonight I'm sittin' alone diggin' up bones.

 

           A

3. And I went through the closet and I found some things in there,

     A

    like that pretty neglige that I bought you to wear.

           A                                                      D

    And I recall how good you looked each time you had it on,

                   A                       E                      A

    yeah, tonight I'm sittin' alone diggin' up bones.

    yeah, tonight I'm sittin' alone diggin' up bones.

 

                        A

I'm diggin' up bones,

                                                       E

exhuming things that’s better left alone.
