[Verse 1]
Am      G      D       Am    G  D
Bury me softly in this womb
Am          G       D      Am   G  D
I give this part of me for you
Am                  G      D
Sand rains down and here I sit
Am           G
Holding rare flowers
D     Am      G  D    Am G D
In a tomb
Am                   G             D        Am    G  D
Down in a hole and I don't know if I can be saved
Am              G           D      Am     G  D
See my heart, I decorate it like a grave
    Am
You don't understand who they
G             D           Am     G  D
Thought I was supposed to be
Am                    G
Look at me now, I'm a man
D                     Am   G  D
Who won't let himself be
 
[Chorus]
Dm             C G     Dm              C  G
Down in a hole,        losin' my soul
Dm             C G     Dm              C  G
Down in a hole,        losin' control
Dm    C      Am    C G
I'd   like   to    fly,
    F                       Am      G  D  Am   G  D
But my wings have been so denied
 
[Verse 2]
Am                         G
Down in a hole and they've put all
    D               Am      G   D
The stones in their place
     Am                  G
I've eaten the sun so my tongue
         D             Am     G   D
Has been burned of the taste
Am
I have been guilty
   G         D           Am     G   D
Of kicking myself in the teeth
Am              G
I will speak no more
      D          Am        G   D
Of my feelings beneath
 
[Chorus]
Dm             C  G    Dm              C  G
Down in a hole,        losin' my soul
Dm             C  G    Dm              C  G
Down in a hole,        losin' control
Dm     C      Am     C G
I'd    like   to     fly
    F                       Am      G D   Am   G  D
But my wings have been so denied
 
[Verse 3]
Am      G      D       Am
Bury me softly in this womb,
Am            G    D       Am
Oh, I want to be inside of you
Am          G       D      Am
I give this part of me for you,
Am            G    D       Am
Oh, I want to be inside of you
Am                  G      D
Sand rains down and here I sit
Am           G
Holding rare flowers,
D    Am
In a tomb
Am            G     D
Oh, I want to be inside...
 
[Chorus]
Dm             C  G    Dm              C  G
Down in a hole,        losin' my soul
Dm             C  G    Dm                C  G
Down in a hole,        feelin' so small
Dm             C  G    Dm              C  G
Down in a hole,        losin' my soul
Dm             C  G    Dm             C  G
Down in a hole,        outta control
Dm     C      Am      C G
I'd    like   to      fly
    F                       Am     G  D
But my wings have been so denied

Almost perfect man! Only correction although, I do believe they end on the A instead of Am. Fantastic tab otherwise!!!

I think I may be being a noob but why is this a half step down if all the chords are a half step up?
