This is the version from the Fourteen Years of Excellence EP. Couldn't find this version 
anywhere, so here it is. It sounds to me like he's strumming the guitar with his 
fingers instead of a pick in the recording. So, do that. Or don't. Whatever sounds best.

So ill dig a hole in my rCoom
From DBirmingham and back Cagain for Gyou
In the end they say we’ll see the trCuth
What a shocDking beaCuty we can both aGbuse
So I folded my hands into a Cbird
The Dshadows made you Claugh
They made you sGunburned
And I stitched my faith into your Cshirt
To make sure nDobody but Cme was getting Ghurt
And you love being cast as the Cfool
In a Dmovie no one Cever pays to Gsit through
Just calm down it will be over Csoon
And god I Dwonder what it Cis I’d do without Gyou
BmDo you Creally like being alone?G  
BmDo you Creally like being alone?D  
CLa di da da da da
G
And the lord made me confront my Cpast
We asked each Dother to exCplain the Gmess
I believed with enough good I’d Cmend
But any Dgood I had was Calways simply Gtempered
And I tried hard to sing like they Cdid
With my Darms raised in the Cair I was Gpraising
You said that when we died it would Csend
But even Dbaby Jesus Cknew that I was Gfaking
BmDo you Creally like being aloneG, Goddamn of course you don’t
BmDo you Creally like being aloneG?
BmDo you Creally like being aloneAm?
Wouldn’t blame you if you went back Ghome
And got an actual Cjob
And you kissed your Gwife and your two daughters
Like I wished I Ccould
And I think that we’d be Emfree
                               C  D*       G  
Oh my god I think you finally feel free
BmI don’t Creally like being alonGe
God, of course I don’t
BmI don’t Creally like being aloneG  
BmI don’t Creally like being aloneAm  
I think I might just go back Ghome
And get an actual Cjob
Stop selling my Gsoul to the devil
He buys so much Cmerch from us
And I think he’d set us Emfree
Yeah I think he’d Ccut the chains
        D*               G  
And set you and me free
BmDo you Creally like being alonGe?
BmCause I don’t Creally like being aloneG  
BmDo you Creally like being aloneAm?
I think I might just go back Ghome
And get an actual Cjob
And tell both my Gredneck neighbors
To bring their Cdogs inside
And I could get some Emsleep
Cause I think all I Cneed
            D*
Is a decent night sleep
G

So ill dig a hole in my room

D C G

From Birmingham and back again for you

In the end they say we’ll see the truth

D C G

What a shocking beauty we can both abuse

So I folded my hands into a bird

D C

The shadows made you laugh

They made you sunburned

And I stitched my faith into your shirt

D C G

To make sure nobody but me was getting hurt

And you love being cast as the fool

D C G

In a movie no one ever pays to sit through

Just calm down it will be over soon

D C G

And god I wonder what it is I’d do without you

Bm C G

Do you really like being alone?

Bm C D

Do you really like being alone?

La di da da da da

And the lord made me confront my past

D C G

We asked each other to explain the mess

I believed with enough good I’d mend

D C G

But any good I had was always simply tempered

And I tried hard to sing like they did

D C G

With my arms raised in the air I was praising

You said that when we died it would send

D C G

But even baby Jesus knew that I was faking

Bm C G

Do you really like being alone, Goddamn of course you don’t

Bm C G

Do you really like being alone?

Bm C Am

Do you really like being alone?

Wouldn’t blame you if you went back home

And got an actual job

And you kissed your wife and your two daughters

Like I wished I could

And I think that we’d be free

C D G

Oh my god I think you finally feel free

Bm C G

I don’t really like being alone

God, of course I don’t

Bm C G

I don’t really like being alone

Bm C Am

I don’t really like being alone

I think I might just go back home

And get an actual job

Stop selling my soul to the devil

He buys so much merch from us

And I think he’d set us free

Yeah I think he’d cut the chains

D G

And set you and me free

Bm C G

Do you really like being alone?

Bm C G

Cause I don’t really like being alone

Bm C Am

Do you really like being alone?

I think I might just go back home

And get an actual job

And tell both my redneck neighbors

To bring their dogs inside

And I could get some sleep

Cause I think all I need

Is a decent night sleep
