                      DIRT
                  THE SWELLERS

CAPO: 1st FRET

INTRO: D


VERSE:
 D                    A            G
This is for all my friends and family.
                              Em
Something I need you to understand.
         Bm
The accident,
                             G
The overdose,the suicide whatever it was.
                             Em
Malpractice, the homicide, etcetera.
                                   G
Something took me sooner than we planned.


PRE-CHORUS:
F#m                (D)  (A) G
   Now take these steps for me.
                          A
It might not be what you wanted,
                 G
But it's what I need.


CHORUS:
       Bm
No funeral. 
                                         G
There's not a goddamn dime you need to spend.
                                     Em
I won't be there to thank you in the end.
                              G
Put me in the ground to decompose
                            D
And inside of your heart always.


INSTRUMENTAL:
D    A    Em     Bm   G    D


BREAK:
  D                  Em     Bm
This is for all my friends.
 D             Em       Bm   D  
Who are these motherfuckers?
 D     A    G   Bm  D
Behind my eyes,
 G                 A
They never knew me in (life).
Em
No. no casket please.
F#m
I'll rot out with the leaves.
G
No, clothes for me to wear.

The dirt won't care.
         Em
Don't, scatter any ashes.
 F#m
Scatter all my things
     G
To, the deserving ones who really need.
Em
No, production here,
F#m
So assholes walk around
                                 G
And try to get your sympathy and say,
 
"I'm glad it wasn't me."


CHORUS:
               Bm
And with that said,
                            G
Don't say a prayer for me today. 
                                    Em
God and I, we never really spoke anyway. 
                                       G
I tried sometimes, but he never wrote back. 
       Bm
And I know 
                                 G
There's no headstone where I'm lying. 
                                Em
So where do you go when you're crying? 
      Bm                    G
Just hold on to a memory of me 


OUTRO:
   A                    D
Inside of your heart always. 
                        A
Inside of your heart always.
                        Bm
Inside of your heart always.
                        G
Inside of your heart always.
                        D
Inside of your heart always.
                        A
Inside of your heart always.
                      Bm  G   D   A   C#m D  G
Inside of your heart
