Intro: A  

      A
I was going through old skeletons in my closet 
      
They were pourin' out of my heart, like a leaky faucet 
                             D                  D7
If any one of those memories ever catch up with me 
      A                       E            A
There ain't no tellin' what price it'll be costin' 
   A
If she finds out about Amy in Atlanta 
                        
Or the two-timin', two-steppin' trouble from Texarkana 
                                   D                       D7
All the parties in The Pines - the fightin' and drinkin' shine 
A                     E
She might think I'm a one-night extravag(A)anza  
        D       C            A
So, I'm buryin' bones by the dozen 
                                         E
Tryin' to hide the past from the one I'm luvin' 
     D                    A               D7
When I lay down to sleep, I can't rest in peace 
          A       E            A
Cause I'm buryin' bones by the dozen 
 
Solo 
      A
Every time the telephone rings, I get a little nervous 

So, at the end of the month, I go and I change my service 
                                                   D                D7
And the whole town knows my truck, so when I go to work, I take the bus 
      A                       E                  A
Spend half of my time lockin' doors, and closin' curtians 
        D       C            A
So, I'm buryin' bones by the dozen 
                                         E
Tryin' to hide the past from the one I'm luvin' 
     D                    A               D7
When I lay down to sleep, I can't rest in peace 
          A       E            A
Cause I'm buryin' bones by the dozen
