Em                   C 
Oh, dig my shallow grave 
                     Am 
It's not me you'll save 
 
'Cause I'm a lost cause 
        B 
I'm a lost cause 
 
A lost, lost cause 
 
Em                                      C 
Wait, all this time that I have spent away 
                                Am 
Makes me think that I might be okay, 
                                B 
the kiss of death will have to wait 
    Em                                          C 
My head, is holding on to all those things you said 
                                          Am 
You taught me to be strong and get trough it, 
                            B 
the mist of darkness in my head 
 
Em                   C

I'm a lost cause 
 
A lost, lost cause 
 
Em                                        C 
Wait, no one said what's lost cannot be found 
                                   Am 
You are here to make it safe and sound, 
                          B 
oh we, can make, it out alive 
Em                                             C 
Fate, hath its way when all that's learned is sin 
                               Am 
Nothing really matters in the end, 
                                B 
as long, as you, are with me, friend 
 
Em                   C

Em 
No one can understand me 
C 
Like you can understand 
Am 
No one can fill your shadow 
B 
'Cause you are all I am 
 
Em                   C 
Oh, dig my shallow grave 
                     Am 
It's not me you'll save
