Verse 1:
         C/G  
   Last night i dug your picture out from my old dresser drawer

   I set it on the table and i talked to it 'til four
                                                F
   I read some old love letters right up 'til the break of bone
             C/G                  G               C/G    
   Yeah i've been settlin' alone diggin' up bones


Verse 2:
         C/G
   Then i went to the jewelery and i found our wedding rings

   I've put mine on my finger and i gave yours a flame
                                              F 
   I crossed this lonely bedroom of our recent broken home
                C/G                 G               C/G 
   Yeah tonight i'm settlin' alone diggin' up bones


Chorus:
         C/G       
   I'm diggin' up bones,i'm diggin' up bones
                                           G
   Exhuming things that better left alone
             C/G                      F
   I'm resurrecting memories of love that's dead and gone
                C/G                 G               C/G   
   Yeah tonight i'm settlin' alone diggin' up bones


Verse 3:
         C/G
   And i went to the closet and i found some things in there

   Like that pretty neglige that i bought you to wear
                                               F
   And i recall how good you looked each time you had it on
                C/G                 G               C/G    
   Yeah tonight i'm settlin' alone diggin' up bones


Chorus.
             C/G                      F
   I'm resurrecting memories of love that's dead and gone
                C/G                 G               C/G   
   Yeah tonight i'm settlin' alone diggin' up bones


Chorus (til end).
