Dig

[Intro ]

C               G 
 Down down down down 
C               F 
 Down down down down (down down) 

 
C 
 The moon is a thumbprint on a dirty window 
G 
 The disciples line up outside the bingo 
C 
 Under a neon sign that says 'hope' 
F 
 That flashes pink and indigo 
             C 
Character collector, cheerio 
You're not quite a mother-fucker 
G 
But you're a mother-love-maker 
                            C 
And we're not impressed by your boat shoes and your high-vis windbreaker 
F 
 You can shave you're own throat 
            C 
I'm saving my skin 
                                            G 
I dunno what costume drama you think you're starring in 
                             C 
I can see right through your cocktail shaker 
                     F 
Move along and don't tell your friends 
I'm living to my means by no ends 
C                                G 
 No story here, closed eyes and no fear 
                        C 
Swan-diving into the void 
                                    F 
For a 10-bag and a half-inched breadbaker

C               G 
 Down down down down 
C               F 
 Down down down down (down down) 

 
C 
 I'm just trying to get us to the sea 
   G 
We planned a holiday years ago 
                    C 
I don't think well last another summer indoors 
                            F 
We've been through a lot y'know 
But we havent seen anything together 
C 
 We don't want to be here forever 
                    G 
We hope to leave before we're old 
                                                      C 
The days are getting shorter and the nights are always cold 
                               F 
And the wind whistles bad news through the flapping of the flagpoles 
C 
Every day is a balancing act 
                    G 
Tired of living on the branch 
                             C 
Trying to find truth and defy fact 
                                   F 
Like we were only born to pay bills and dig holes 
                                C 
But that's the way it is I'm told 
I hope to leave before were old 
                       G 
The days are getting shorter 
And I can't be alone, let alone be bold 
C                                                     F 
All the eyes are on me and their voices scatter like roaches 
They wear their ignorance as broaches 
C 
 With long and heartless sleeves 
           G 
I've had enough, we've got to go 
            C 
I won't be killed off screen in the snow 
               F 
I want to do something before we're below 
                     C 
Standing on the overpass, this is where we bellow 
    G                                                     C 
And breathe smoke until it hangs like a painted cloud over England 
                              F 
Even though, weve nothing to do 
With nothing to show 
                  C 
We've just got to go (down down down down) 
                   G 
We've just got to go 
                     C 
Weve just got to go (down down down down) 
                     F 
Weve just got to go

Dig! 
       G 
Dig on down 
        C                              F 
Til you come out of the sky and back around 
    C             G 
Dig son, dig the ground 
             C                        F 
Youre gonna bury this motherfucking town 
         C                 G 
And everyone that put you down 
         C 
Grit and spite 
             G 
Will do you right 
           C 
If you can make it through the night 
   G          C 
So dig, dig on down - down down
