[Verse 1]
Am      G      D       Am    G  D
Bury me softly in this womb

I give this part of me for you
Am                  G      D
Sand rains down and here I sit
Am           G
Holding rare flowers
D     Am      G  D    Am G D
In a tomb          In bloom

[Verse 2]
A5                   G             D        A5    G  D
Down in a hole and I don't know if I can be saved
A5              G           D      A5     G  D
See my heart, I decorate it like a grave
    A5
Oh  You don't understand who they
G             D           A5  G  D
Thought I was supposed to be
A5                    G
Look at me now, I'm a man
          D           A5  G  D
Who won't let himself be

[Chorus]
D5             Cadd9  G
Down in a hole

Down in a hole
D5             Cadd9  G

A5                         G           D               A5    G  D
Down in a hole and they've put all the stones in their place
     A5                  G               D             A5     G  D
I've eaten the sun so my tongue has been burned of the taste
A5                    G       D             A5     G  D
I have been guilty of kicking myself in the teeth
A5              G       D           A5     G  D
I will speak no more of my feelings beneath

[Chorus]
D5             Cadd9  G
Down in a hole
D5             Cadd9  G
losin' my soul

Down in a hole
D5             Cadd9  G
losin' control

D   E5   F  C5     G5
