C                   F
Don't try to tell me what I've gotta believe in
C                       F
Because I know my angels and I know my demons
C                   F
And I can't speed up the change of seasons
C                    F
Gonna stay right here and I got my reasons

Am  C  F
Am  C  F

C                       F
Tried to tame the river, tried to stop that feeling
C                         F
But you can't stop hurting like you can't stop breathing
C                          F
I don't think you killed me, but I'm clearly bleeding
C                    F
Gonna stay right here at the place I'm kneeling

Am  C  F
Am  C  F


[Chorus]
          C           F
Cause I'm down in the dirt
        Am                          C
But the dirt's where the seeds grow then where the trees grow
F
Not a bad place to be
         C                 F
I'm in a world, a world of hurt
        Am                        C
But the hurt's where the gold is, what I've been told it's
F
Not a bad place to be


[Verse]
C                        F
So I close the curtains, and I power the phone down
C               F
No distractions, I'm all alone now
C                 F
My mother's touch, I think about that now
C                   F
Would it be too much if I don't come back now

Am  C  F
Am  C  F

C                   F
And I'm underground, think I'm doing alright here
C                      F
I'm scared of the dark, but I know there's light here
C                     F
And I'm looking around for some kind of savior
C                  F
I've never not run, what if I just stayed here

Am  C  F
Am  C  F


[Chorus]
          C           F
Cause I'm down in the dirt
        Am                          C
But the dirt's where the seeds grow then where the trees grow
F
Not a bad place to be
         C                 F
I'm in a world, a world of hurt
        Am                        C
But the hurt's where the gold is, what I've been told it's
F
Not a bad place to be
          C
So let me be
       F
Let me be


[Bridge]
C                  F
So I'm leaving home and I'm not returning
C                     F
Everything I've known is a bridge for burning
C                 F
I got knocked down but I kept on learning
C                  F
So I'm leaving home and I'm not returning

C  F
C  F

    C    F
I'm down
       C    F
In the dirt
    C    F
I'm down
       C    F
In the dirt


[Outro]
C                  F
So I'm leaving home and I'm not returning
C                     F
Everything I've known is a bridge for burning
C                 F
I got knocked down but I kept on learning
C                  F
So I'm leaving home and I'm not returning

C               F
I thank the dirt for what I've found here
C                      F
Cause I've got my faith and I've got my doubt here
C                    F
Gonna make a new home cause I like it down here
C               F
I thank the dirt for what I've found here
C               F
I thank the dirt for what I've found here
C               F
I thank the dirt for what I've found here
C               F
I thank the dirt for what I've found here
C               F
I thank the dirt for what I've found here
