[Intro]
C G C G D
C G Em D

[Verse]
C                          G
Don't even bother climbing out of the well
C                         G         D                C   
That ain't no way to get out of the hell that you're in
C                      G
If you want to see the back of it girl
Em                       D
You better start digging down with your pail of tin
C                   G
I got shat on by an eagle baby
        C                   G            D           C   
Now I'm king of the neighborhood and it feels like I could
C                             G
Just peel the gym pants off a single mother
         Em                             D
But this run of good luck don't got me feeling all that good
 D
And it hurts
 D
And it hurts
 D
But I don't want to talk about it

[Chorus]
C                 D
Cuz I'm my dreams I miss you
       G           G/F#     Em
Then I wake up to reality's bliss
    C                     D
Now all I ever wanted and all I ever needed
         G
Is right here in a stranger's kiss

[Interlude]
C    G C    G D
C    G Em D

[Verse]
C                            G
Don't bother flying when you jump off the cliff
C                                G             D             C   
Make sure it's head first if you don't want to deal with "what ifs"
C                                 G
I know you're wondering if you'll feel it again
Em                      D
Just keep on digging it down with your pail of tin
C                             G
No shame in sleeping with the seagulls baby
C                     G            D           C   
This town's a tourist trap it's no place to be livin'
C                          G
They made a meme out of my legacy darling
Em                         D
My hands are caught in the net and they're pale and thin
       D
And it hurts
       D
And it hurts
       D
But I don't want to talk about it

[Chorus]
C                 D
Cuz I'm my dreams I miss you
        G         G/F#     Em
And I wake up to reality's bliss
 C                    D
All I ever wanted and all I ever needed
            G
Was right here in a stranger's kiss

[Interlude]
C    G C    G D
C    G Em D

[Verse]
C                    G
Me and Roy we got a pretty mean posse
C                       G            D           C   
With the down syndrome Jew from the real-estate crew
C                        G
He keeps me busy with a shift now and then
Em                        D
But it don't ever really stop me from thinking of you

C                             G
I know you're wondering why I wish you were dead
C                             G              D          C   
And there's no solace in the fact that it's all in your head
C                        G
Try not to focus on the pain that you're in
Em                      D
Just keep on digging it down with your pail of tin
      D
If it hurts
        D
Well it hurts
      D
But I don't want to talk about it

[Chorus]
C                  D
Cuz I'm my dreams I miss you
      G            G/F#     Em
And I wake up to reality's bliss
 C                     D
All I ever wanted and all I ever needed
           G
Was right here in a stranger's kiss

C                  D
Cuz in my dreams I miss you
           G               G/F#         Em
And I just stick 'em right there in the bin
C                            D
Thought I needed buckets of gold
                         G                   G 
When all I needed was a dirty little pail of tin
