       Em
In the cold stone walls
House where the bleeding did fall
A mother is crying outside
In the darkest of hours
Left with her perilous thoughts
They circle to squeeze dry her soul

Chorus:
Em                   D
Lord, Imma' lose my baby
F#m7                 Em
Lord, Imma' lose my way
    Em                   D
But if living means I'm dead here
     F#m7           Em
Come hurry and resurrect me

When the sun goes down
Into another night's arms
We're babies in a scavenger's glimpse
Then a neon cross shines
And shows us to tread on the low
Of guilt trips while love grips the blind

Chorus:
I said, "Lord, I'mma lose my head here
Lord, I'mma lose my way
If pushing means I'm stuck here
Come hurry, and resurrect me"

       Em                      Bm
Imma' drop my head before I'm ready to stop
        C                      G           D/F#
Imma' drop my head before I'm ready to stop
       Em                        Bm
Imma' dig that grave and fall in line for the drop
            C                    G         D/F#
Before I'm ready to stop if I'm ready or not

I'mma drop my head before I'm ready to stop
I'mma drop my head before I'm ready to stop
I'mma ride my time before they throw out the clock
Charge my blood by the hour and make me pay
for the talk

Em    Bm                 C        G D/F#
Lord, we gonna lose our heads here
Em    Bm                 C G D/F#
Lord, we gonna lose our way

I'mma dig that grave
I'mma dig that grave
Baby, blow this scene, hang our boots up to lean
And die until the resurrection of
the things we believe

I'mma dig that grave
