C
Last night i dug your picture out from my old dresser drawer
I set it on the table and i talked to it 'til four
F
I read some old love letters right up 'til the break of bone
C G C
Yeah i've been settlin' alone diggin' up bones
C
Then i went to the jewelery and i found our wedding rings
I've put mine on my finger and i gave yours a flame
F
I crossed this lonely bedroom of our recent broken home
C G C
Yeah tonight i'm settlin' alone diggin' up bones
Chorus:
C
I'm diggin' up bones i'm diggin' up bones
G
Exhuming things that better left alone
C F
I'm resurrecting memories of love that's dead and gone
C G C
Yeah tonight i'm settlin' alone diggin' up bones
C
And i went to the closet and i found some things in there
Like that pretty neglige that i bought you to wear
F
And i recall how good you looked each time you had it on
C G C
Yeah tonight i'm settlin' alone diggin' up bones
Chorus.
C F
I'm resurrecting memories of love that's dead and gone
C G C
Yeah tonight i'm settlin' alone diggin' up bones
