Well, I ought to be working in a coal mine, neck deep in black lunk soot, swinging a picket
at [C] Mountainside, halfway to China.
[D] I think I would [G]
fit right in where the sun don't shine.
She's better [A] off alone.
[C] Yeah, I ought to be working [G] in a coal mine.
[D] Lord knows I'm good at [G] digging holes.
Well, I ought to be drilling for that black gold, swimming in that Texas tea.
I can make a killing all on my own, selling [C] my misfortune [D] to a family.
[G] Because when I hit rock bottom, the deeper down [Am] I go.
Oh, [C] I ought to be drilling [G] for that black gold.

town.
When it [D] comes to love, I ain't got [C] a clue what this [D] heart of mine is supposed [G] to do.
It tears [D] me up inside, but I can't [C] help it if she don't [D] let go.

Well, I ought to make my living in a graveyard, over my head in dirt.
If I had a shovel, I'd bury this heart six feet down.
[A] And my [G] last words would be, I never meant to hurt you.
I'm better off [Am] with ghosts.
Yeah, [C] I ought to make my living [G] in a graveyard.
[D] Lord knows I'm good at [G] digging holes.
Oh, [C] I ought to make my living [G] in a graveyard.
