intro

Dm Dsus2 Dm x8

verse 1

Something in me 
dark and sticky 
All the time it's getting strong
No way of dealing with this feeling
Can't go on like this too long

Bridge 1

This time you've gone too far
This time you've gone too far
This time you've gone too far
I told you,I told you,I told you,I told you
This time you've gone too far
This time you've gone too far
This time you've gone too far
I told you,I told you,I told you,I told you

chorus 1

Don't talk back 
Just drive the car 
Shut your mouth 
I know what you are 
Don't say nothing 
Keep your hands on the wheel 
Don't turn around 
This is for real 

Refrain

Digging in the dirt
Stay with me, I need support
I'm digging in the dirt 
To find the places I got hurt
Open up the places I got hurt

instrumental

Dm Gm G x8

verse 2

The more I look 
the more I find 
As I close on in, I get so blind
I feel it in my head, I feel it in my toes
I feel it in my sex, that's the place it goes.

Bridge 2

This time you've gone too far
This time you've gone too far
This time you've gone too far
I told you,I told you,I told you,I told you
This time you've gone too far
This time you've gone too far
This time you've gone too far
I told you,I told you,I told you,I told you

chorus 2

Don't talk back 
Just drive the car 
Shut your mouth 
I know what you are 
Don't say nothing 
Keep your hands on the wheel 
Don't turn around 
This is for real. 

refrain

Digging in the dirt
Stay with me, I need support
I'm digging in the dirt 
To find the places I got hurt
Open up the places I got hurt.
Im Digging in the dirt
Stay with me, I need support
I'm digging in the dirt 
To find the places I got hurt
Open up the places I got hurt.

Digging in the dirt, 
To find the places we got hurt ....
