[Verse]
CDon't even bother climbing Gout of the well
CThat ain't no way to get oGut of the Dhell that you're Cin
CIf you want to see the Gback of it girl
EmYou better start digging Ddown with your pail of tin
CI got shat on by an Geagle baby
Now I'm Cking of the neighborGhood and it fDeels like I Ccould
CJust peel the gym pants off a Gsingle mother
But this Emrun of good luck don't got me fDeeling all that good
ADnd it hurts
ADnd it hurts
BDut I don't want to talk about it
[Chorus]
CCuz I'm my dreams DI miss you
Then I Gwake up to rG/F#eality's Embliss
Now Call I ever wanted and Dall I ever needed
Is right Ghere in a stranger's kiss
[Interlude]
C    G C    G D

[Verse]
CDon't bother flying when you Gjump off the cliff
CMake sure it's head first if you Gdon't want to Ddeal with "whaCt ifs"
CI know you're wondering if you'll Gfeel it again
EmJust keep on digging it Ddown with your pail of tin
CNo shame in sleeping with the Gseagulls baby
CThis town's a tourist Gtrap it's no Dplace to be Clivin'
CThey made a meme out of my Glegacy darling
EmMy hands are caught in the Dnet and they're pale and thin
And it Dhurts
And it Dhurts
But I dDon't want to talk about it
[Chorus]
CCuz I'm my dreams DI miss you
And I waGke up to rG/F#eality's Embliss
ACll I ever wanted and Dall I ever needed
Was right heGre in a stranger's kiss

[Verse]
CMe and Roy we got a pGretty mean posse
CWith the down syndrome JGew from the rDeal-estate cCrew
CHe keeps me busy with a sGhift now and then
EmBut it don't ever really sDtop me from thinking of you
CI know you're wondering why I Gwish you were dead
CAnd there's no solace in the fGact that it's aDll in your Chead
CTry not to focus on the pGain that you're in
EmJust keep on digging it Ddown with your pail of tin
If it Dhurts
Well it Dhurts
But I Ddon't want to talk about it
[Chorus]
CCuz I'm my dreams I Dmiss you
And I Gwake up to reG/F#ality's bEmliss
ACll I ever wanted and aDll I ever needed
Was right hGere in a stranger's kiss
CCuz in my dreams I Dmiss you
And I just Gstick 'em right G/F#there in the Embin
CThought I needed buckets of gDold

Just peel the gym pants off a single mother

And it hurts

But I don't want to talk about it

Me and Roy we got a pretty mean posse

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

Try not to focus on the pain that you're in

Just keep on digging it down with your pail of tin

If it hurts

Well it hurts

But I don't want to talk about it

Thought I needed buckets of gold

G G

When all I needed was a dirty little pail of tin
