[Verse 1]
 GEverything inDside of me Cis C/Bbroken noGw
 CAnd now a piece falls out my sleeve in Gevery single Ctown
 CNow I pray each line I leave is the Glast one I write Cdown
And GI will always Dlove you and I will Cnever C/Bbe aGround
[Chorus]
 CAnd I would pick a shallow grave ovGer an empty cell
Oh cause DI have seen that time ain't too Cforgiving C/Bof a Gjail
 CAnd I could craft a pile of stone inGto a wishing Cwell
But Gyou aren't so naDive my love, we Cknow that C/Blife is Ghell
[Verse 2]
 GHighways wane and Dold freight trains Cburn C/Bin my Gear
 CIt became so loud at times its Gall that I could Chear
But Crunning from your troubles it wont Gmake them disapCpear
GI would waltz through Dfire my friend to Chave my C/Bconscious Gclear
[Chorus]
 CAnd I would pick a shallow grave ovGer an empty cell
Oh cause DI have seen that time ain't too Cforgiving C/Bof a Gjail
 CAnd I could craft a pile of stone inGto a wishing Cwell
But Gyou aren't so naDive my love, we Cknow that C/Blife is Ghell
[Verse 3]
 GAnd you would think that Dfate would Cgrant a C/Bsecond Gchance
 CBut she won't give the time of day Gor a awkward Cglance
 CShe won't reduce my sentence unGder the circumCstance
And GI had placed my beDts before the Ccards were C/Bin my Ghand
[Chorus]
 CAnd I would pick a shallow grave ovGer an empty cell
Oh cause DI have seen that time ain't too Cforgiving C/Bof a Gjail
 CAnd I could craft a pile of stone inGto a wishing Cwell
