Am G
"Lie down in the dirt"
Em F
I looked up at the night sky

G C
went where nobody can reach
[Chorus]

So excuse me, I'll be opening my box
Em F Am G
Of old friend misery, my secret treat
Am G F
To feel like myself again
C F
I won't be here, I'll be
G C
where nobody can reach
C F
I'm not here, I'm where
G C
nobody can reach
Em F
Instead of here, I'm where
G C
nobody can reach
[Outro]
