Same chords all the way through - , , , 
Gm                   Eb
Oh, dig my shallow grave
                     Cm
It's not me you'll save
   D
'Cause I'm a lost cause
I'm a lost cause
A lost, lost cause
Gm                                  Eb
Wait, all this time that I have spent away
                                Cm
Makes me think that I might be okay,
                                D
The kiss of death will have to wait
Gm                                            Eb
My head, is holding on to all those things you said
                                                         Cm
You taught me to be strong and get through it, the mist of darkness
D
In my head
Gm                   Eb
Oh, dig my shallow grave
                   Cm
It's not me you'll save
'Cause I'm a lost cause
      D
I'm a lost cause
A lost, lost cause
Gm                                       Eb
Wait, no one said what's lost cannot be found
                                       Cm
You are here to make it safe and sound,
                            D
Oh we, can make it, out alive
Gm                                              Eb
Fate, hath its way when all that's learned is sin
                               Cm
Nothing really matters in the end,
           D
As long, as you, are with me, friend
Gm                      Eb
Oh, dig my shallow grave
                     Cm
It's not me you'll save
'Cause I'm a lost cause
      D
I'm a lost cause
A lost, lost cause
Gm                     Eb
No one can understand me
                      Cm
Like you can understand
No one can fill your shadow
D
'Cause you are all I am
Gm                     Eb
Oh, dig my shallow grave
                      Cm
It's not me you'll save
'Cause I'm a lost cause

I'm a lost cause
A lost, lost cause
