VERSE 1
(bass is playing E, guitar can tacet)
Em
Don't blame your death on the sh*t in your head
Em
that you claimed ate you like a virus for days on end
Em
I watched you decay, watched you waste away.
Em
Who'd you think you'd fool, baby, digging your own grave?
VERSE 2
(with lead/rhythm guitar)
Em
So go ahead, just drop dead,
Em
And while you're trying to fool the whole world don't forget
Em
that you'll decay and you'll waste away.
Em n.c.
You can't cheat death when you're digging your own grave.
CHORUS
EDC
You're out of line,
GEm
Buried yourself alive and expected to be fine.
EGC
You can't rewind
AmEm
when you're choking on your own dirt begging for your life.
EDC
Your bridges are burning (all your bridges are burn -
GEm
and all the tables are turning (all the tables are turn-
ing)
EGC
You started a fire
ing)
AmEm
and you're burning up, up, burning up (yeah)

VERSE 3
(bass again)
Em
What you give is what you get,
Em
and in your case, that's nothing but guilt and regret
Em
and all the flames you kept in your brain
Em
came out your lips and sent you straight into your own grave.
VERSE 4
(lead/rhythm guitar again)
Em
You were a walking, talking, corpse at best
Em
and I swear, I couldn't wait to get you off my chest,
Em
and when you asked us why we couldn't look you in your eyes -
Em n.c.
it's hard to find life in something that's already died.
CHORUS
