^ESaw the sycamore ^Funderneath the moon ^AmI was waiting for something, and you were ^Csleeping

out there in the ^Dliving room and it was ^E5:16 AM ^Fthe air was sharp and cool

^Amand I wondered where you buried our ^Cdark little ^Djewel

Chorus:

and the heat (^Gflies') in the ^Droom I am digging ^Cgraves, I am digging ^Dgraves

and the water b^Goiling on the^D stove I am digging ^Cgraves, I am digg-^Ding graves

[back to first pattern] So I held you close to me I saw the shadows start to gather outside beneath the sycamore tree and something was changing there was something here entirely new first thing into blossom inside of us both with the sun coming up and me holding onto you [to chorus pattern] and your body breath(ing) on mine i am digging graves, i am digging graves and your hands fly thru my hair i am digging graves, i am digging graves [repeat chorus chords twice, end on E]
