E5 | G5 | Cadd9 | Cadd9 | D5 | G | Cadd9 | Cadd9
[Verse 1]
G
I would dig a thousand holes to
Cadd9
lay next to you
Em D5
I would dig a thousand more if I
Cadd9
needed to
[Verse 2]
G
I look around the grave for an
Cadd9
escape route of old routines
D5 G5
There doesn't seem to be any other
Cadd9

Take the pieces and build them skywards

Take the pieces and build them up
