[VERSE lyrics] I buried my heart in a hole in the ground (example: A# C G) With the lights and the roses and the cowards down-town They threw me a party there was no one around They tried to call my girl but she could not be found I buried my guilt in a pit in the sound With the rust and the vultures and the trash down-town So don't step to me, kid you'll never be found 'Cos while you were sleeping I took over your town (G is maintained until PRE-CHORUS - 1:16) [PRE-CHORUS] Guitar 1 - 1:09 to 1:28 repeated again at 2:07 to 2:27
