G
Love of a lifetime, though I hardly knew you
   F                          C
I feel you right down to the bone
     G
You left love behind, but I think that you'll find
          F                  C
That I'm better than being alone

 Dm                     F
When we were innocent children
 C                         G
Back when the fever ran through
 Dm                    F
Nonsense spoken, 'til fevers were broken
     C                       G
Then I was the boy you out grew

[Chorus]
    C Eb
And I    should have buried you
 Bb                    F
Buried you off in the deep
    C Eb
And I    should have buried you
 Bb                F           C     Eb Bb F
Body and soul to keep, for my treasure

[Verse 2]
G
I know your darkness, and we share a secret
      F                   C
I'll happily take to my grave
       G
While others who fumbled

With buttons in backseats
      F                        C
The sweat of your love being brave

Dm                     F
We were just innocent children
      C                 G
The urges defy common sense
      Dm
Come back to me love
         F
Because I'm worthy of
    C                         G
And I haven't been the same since

[Chorus]
    C Eb
And I    should have buried you
 Bb                    F
Buried you off in the deep
    C Eb
And I    should have buried you
 Bb               F            C     Eb Bb F
Body and soul to keep, for my treasure

[Interlude]
Am C G  D
Oooo Oooo
Am C G Bb
Oooo Oooo
Bb C
Ahhh

[Chorus]
    D F
And I   want to bury you
 C                   G
Bury you off in the deep
    D F
And I   should have buried you
 C                G
Body and soul to keep

    D F
And I   want to bury you
 C                 G
Body and soul to keep
          D          F
Say good-bye 'cause I'm going to bury you
 C                G            D     Dm G D
Body and soul to keep, for my treasure
