         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
