[Intro] F#sus2 G6 Asus2 Asus2 F#sus2 G6 Asus2 Asus2 [Verse 1]
F#m                   G
We were shooting at a mountain of dirt

A
Well nothing was broken, nothing was hurt

F#m                                       G
But I probably really should have been at work

           A                          A
But if my free time's gone, would you promise me this?
[Chorus]
              F#sus2  G6          Asus2
That you will please bury me with it!

F#sus2  G6          Asus2
Please bury me with it
[Verse 2]
      F#m                    G
Well sure as planets come, I know that they end

            A
And if I'm here when that happens

          A
Will you promise me this my friend?
[Chorus]
F#sus2  G6          Asus2
Please bury me with it!

             F#sus2            G6      Asus2
I just don't need none of that Mad Max bullshit
[Verse 3]
          F#m                  G
Well the suit got tight and it split at the seams

      A                           A
But I kept it out of habit and I kept it really clean

           F#m                     G
But if it's getting faded, if it's running out of thread

               A                       A
Could you just do this for me my friend?
[Chorus]
                F#sus2  G6          Asus2
And please just please bury me with it!

F#sus2  G6          Asus2
Please bury me with it
[Verse 4]
         F#m                    G
Well we moved to the left, and moved to the right

             A                          A
And sure as hell we stayed out almost every single night

            F#m                  G
But if the party's over, if the fun has to end

           A                 A
Could you do this for me my friend?
[Chorus]
               F#sus2  G6          Asus2
Would you just please bury me with it!

F#sus2  G6          Asus2
Please! Bury me with it
[Bridge] N.C Good news for people who love bad news
       D                       C#m
We've lost the plot and we just can't choose

       F#m                           C#m
We are hummingbirds who are just not willing to move

           A         D            E
And there's good news for people who love bad news

       F#m                                C#m
We are hummingbirds who lost the plot and we will not move

        A              D          E
We have good news for anyone who loves bad news
[Instrumental] F#sus2 G6 Asus2 Asus2 F#sus2 G6 Asus2 Asus2 [Verse 5]
        F#m
We were aiming for the moon

        G
We were shooting at the stars

        A                              A
But the kids were just shooting at the buses and the cars

   F#m
So don't drink the water

          G
Don't you breathe the air

            A                           A
And if it's gotten to that point then I have to declare
[Chorus]
              F#sus2  G6          Asus2
That you just please bury me with it!

F#sus2  G6          Asus2
Please bury me with it
[Verse 6]
      F#m                  G
Well, fads they come, and fads they go

    A                A
And God I love that rock and roll

         F#m                        G
Well the point was fast, but it was too blunt to miss

       A
Life handed us a paycheck

        A
We said "We worked harder than this!"
[Chorus]
F#sus2  G6          Asus2
Please bury me with it

F#sus2  G6          Asus2
Please bury me with it        Ah shit now
[Outro] F#m C#m A D E
       F#m                           C#m
We are hummingbirds who are just not willing to move

           A         D           E
And there's good news for people who love bad news

       F#m                                   C#m
We are hummingbirds who've lost the plot and we will not move

       A               D          E
We have good news for anyone who loves bad news
