Verse:
------
[lots of Eb7 riffs all over the place]

Something in me, dark and sticky
All the time it's getting strong
No way of dealing with this feeling
Can't go on like this too long

Bridge:
-------
   This time you've gone too far
Eb

   This time you've gone too far
Eb

   This time you've gone too far, 
Eb

I told you, I told you, I told you, I told you
  Eb

[repeat]

Don't talk back,            just drive the car
                F#/Eb-Db/Eb-Gb/Eb              Ab/C-Absus4/C#-Ab/Db

Shut your mouth,                  I know what you are
                F#/Eb-Db/Eb-Gb/Eb                     Ab/C-Absus4/C#-Ab/Db

Don't say nothing,                 keep your hands on the wheel
                  F#/Eb-Db/Eb-Gb/Eb                             
Ab/C-Absus4/C#

Don't turn around,              this is for real
Ab/C#             F#/Eb-Db/Eb-F#                Ab/C-Absus4/C#

Chorus:
-------
   Digging in the dirt
Bbm        Ab          

   Stay with me I need support   
C#           F#   C#/F    Ab

   I'm digging in the dirt
Bbm            Ab

   Find the places I got hurt
C#          F#     C#/F  Ab

Open up the places I got hurt
Bbm         F#     C#/F  Ab

[verse]
The more I look, the more I find
As I close on in, I get so blind
I feel it in my head, I feel it in my toes
I feel it in my sex, that's the place it goes

[bridge]

[chorus x2]

Digging in the dirt, to find the places we got hurt...
[Eb7 riffs, repeat to end]
