Down in a Hole

[Verse]  Am  G  D

Bury me softly in this womb
I give this part of me for you
Sand rains down and here I sit
Holding rare flowers in a tomb
In bloom

Down in a hole and I don't know if I can be saved
See my heart, I decorate it like a grave
You don't understand who they thought I was supposed to be
Look at me now, a man who won't let himself be

[Chorus]
Dm             C  G 
Down in a hole
Dm               C  G
Feeling so small
Dm             C  G
Down in a hole
Dm             C  G
Losin' my soul
Dm  E5   F5  C   G
I'd like to  fly 
    F                     Am     G  D
but my wings have been so denied

Down in a hole and they've put all the stones in their place
I've eaten the sun so my tongue has been burned of the taste
I have been guilty of kicking myself in the teeth
I will speak no more of my feelings beneath

[Chorus]

Bury me softly in this womb
Oh, I want to be inside of you
I give this part of me for you
Oh, I want to be inside of you
Sand rains down and here I sit
Oh, I want to be inside of you
Holding rare flowers in a tomb, in bloom
Oh, I want to be inside

[Chorus]
Down in a hole, feeling so small
Down in a hole, losin' my soul
Down in a hole, feeling so small
Down in a hole, out of control
I'd like to fly but my wings have been so denied
