Chorus:
F#m7                 Am
Nothing left within, I've been mined
Em                   Gm
Hell and back again, subterranean.
F#m7                  Am
I've been digging in down inside
Em                  Gm
I will start again, subterranean.

       Dmaj9/F#   F    A                D/F#       F        A
But the truth is so unkind; what do you know, how low the sky
        Dmaj9/F#   F    A                D/F#       F        A
Yeah the truth is so unkind; what do you know, how low the sky

 A                    A6       Amaj7                  A6
You might think you know me but I know damn well you don't
   Em      D       A   Asus4 A
Oh no, oh no, you don't
     A                  A6        Amaj7                  A6
And you might think you own me but I know damn well you don't
   Em      D       A   Asus4 A
Oh no, oh no, you don't
 Am       G           D        Am
Bury my heart, can I go this alone?
    G      D       Am  Asus4  Am
Oh no, oh no, you don't
 Am          G    D           Am
Poison the sound god in the stone
    G      D       A   Asus4 A
Oh no, oh no, you don't

Chorus

But the truth is so unkind; what do you know, how low the sky
You might think you owe me but I know damn well you don't
Oh no, oh no, you don't
I might think you love me but I know damn well you don't
Oh no, oh no, you don't
Bring all your lies; leave them deep in the dirt
Oh no, oh no, you don't
Pull down my eyes; lay me deep in the earth
Oh no, oh no, you don't

Chorus
