Tabbed by Jarred B.

I noticed there was no tabs on the site for this version of the song so here it is. This
is my first attempt at a tab. I think im pretty close to correct but if you disagree then
share your corrections instead of complaining about it. This is one of my all-time fave
songs. Enjoy.

Bury me softly in this womb
I give this part of me for you
Sand rains down and here I sit
Holding rare flowers
In a tomb...in bloom

Down in a hole and I dont know if I can be saved
See my heart I decorate it like a grave
You dont understand who they
Thought I was supposed to be
Look at me now a man
Who wont let himself be

Down in a hole and they've put all
The stones in their place
I've eaten the sun so my tongue
Has been burned of the taste
I have been guilty
Of kicking myself in the teeth
I will speak no more
Of my feelings beneath
