E                 C#m         A                     E         F#
What a wreck of a day, what a wreck of a man I've become.
E               C#m        A                        E
What a thing to say, but I said it, I cut and run. 
  A        E             B       E
I tried to divide myself by my desires, 
A        E            B
follow a dream to its grave.
        C#m        B      E            C#m 
But for all of the ways I bury myself, 
  E            B          E          F#
I begged and I pleaded to stay. 

E               C#m         A                       E         F#
What a price to pay, what a price to pay for wicked pride. 
E              C#m     A                      E
What a foolish way of abandoning all that you tried. 
A         E          B        E
Loyal's a life for a dog on a leash, 
      A          E             B
I was sure I was born with the hounds. 
       C#m        B        E              C#m
But in all of the ways you bury yourself, 
    E            B          E
the dogs dig you out of the ground. 

      E             C#m        A                  E         F#
Now I wake in the day when the sun is high in the sky. 
    E              C#m       A                      E
I’m sure I'm on my way or at least I'm not living a lie. 
A       E           B       E
Only to find myself looking behind 
       A              E          B       
at the life for which I had been bound
         C#m        B      E            C#m 
Cause in all of the ways I bury myself, 
    E         B          E
I'm rising up out of the ground. 
       C#m        B      E            C#m
Yes in all of the ways I bury myself, 
     E         B          E
I am rising up out of the ground.
