Verse 1
D5 
 If I was man enough to break your wrist
C5
 Send you home to rewrite all who made your list
D5
 Of ones who love and pray and help through time
C5
 Clock on the wall that won't relieve your right to life
F5
 We're all the facts and voted yes to keep
D5
 Burn hot the records those words hold no weight to me
F5
 My child I'm dying I have never told
D5
 The world of fucked up love between two souls like ours
A5
Verse 2
D5
 I'm failing hard to stop a trying man
C5
 Until his purpose becomes done in God's whole plan
D5
 I claim my debt to be the arm holding your weight
C5
 What should I buy will not find the strength to wait
F5
 And pull my aching body off the ledge
D5
 One last touch before a shell becomes a bed
F5
 For herb to grow and life to feed itself
D5
 Don't be sad, this is my point

Chorus 1
A5             D5
 Don't dig a foxhole
A5              G5 
 I'll build a new home
A5                 D5
 That would lie on pavement
A5           G5
 Solid foundation
F5                    C5
 For a family you'll grow
F5                     C5
 Two daughters you'll show
F5                       C5
 How a dark place found light
F5                        D5
 How a heart might grow bright

Verse 3 (same as first two)
If I was man enough to break your wrist
I'd send you back to rethink all who made your list
Of ones to care and call and fix from love
Mirror on the wall that won't release your right to trust
We're all the packs of souls we tried to save
Burn hot the bodies these souls have no hold on me
My love I'm crying I have never sold
The world the truth about this place
Just please don't you

Chorus 2 (same as first)
Don't dig a foxhole
I'll build a new home
That would lie on pavement
Solid foundation

For a new way of life
For a point to survive

Don't dig a foxhole
I'll build a new home
That would lie on pavement
Solid foundation

For a family you'll grow
Two daughters you'll show
How a dark place found light
How a heart might grow bright

Bridge
C5                                F5                D5
 While you're sleepless dream in memories of a time you felt alive
C5                          F5             D5
 The warmth of life is precious to your eyes
C5                         F5            D5
 Find a spot you plan to marry and bury it in deep dark earth
C5                  F5            D5
 Return to it, come back here to me

Chorus 3 (same as other two)
Don't dig a foxhole
I'll build a new home
That would lie on pavement
Solid foundation

For a family you'll grow
Two daughters you'll show
How a dark place found light
How a heart might grow bright

Don't dig a foxhole
I'll build a new home
That would lie on pavement
Solid foundation

For a new way of life
For a point to survive

Don't dig a foxhole
I'll build a new home
Would lie on pavement
Solid foundation

For a family you'll grow
Two daughters you'll show
How a dark place found light
And a heart might grow bright
