Intro: A5  

      A5
I was going through old skeletons in my closet 
      
They were pourin' out of my heart, like a leaky faucet 
                             D5                  D5
If any one of those memories ever catch up with me 
      A5                       E5            A5
There ain't no tellin' what price it'll be costin' 
   A5
If she finds out about Amy in Atlanta 
                        
Or the two-timin', two-steppin' trouble from Texarkana 
                                   D5                       D5
All the parties in The Pines - the fightin' and drinkin' shine 
A5                     E5
She might think I'm a one-night extravag(A)anza  
        D5       C5            A5
So, I'm buryin' bones by the dozen 
                                         E5
Tryin' to hide the past from the one I'm luvin' 
     D5                    A5               D5
When I lay down to sleep, I can't rest in peace 
          A5       E5            A5
Cause I'm buryin' bones by the dozen 
 
Solo 
      A5
Every time the telephone rings, I get a little nervous 

So, at the end of the month, I go and I change my service 
                                                   D5                D5
And the whole town knows my truck, so when I go to work, I take the bus 
      A5                       E5                  A5
Spend half of my time lockin' doors, and closin' curtians 
        D5       C5            A5
So, I'm buryin' bones by the dozen 
                                         E5
Tryin' to hide the past from the one I'm luvin' 
     D5                    A5               D5
When I lay down to sleep, I can't rest in peace 
          A5       E5            A5
Cause I'm buryin' bones by the dozen 
 
Fiddle Solo 
    D5       C5            A5
I'm buryin' bones by the dozen 
                                         E5
Tryin' to hide the past from the one I'm luvin' 
     D5                    A5               D5
When I lay down to sleep, I can't rest in peace 
          A5       E5            A5
Cause I'm buryin' bones by the dozen 
                E5            A5
Yes I'm buryin' bones by the dozen
