F#m              D                    E
The music is in my blood, you don't understand
    F#m              D                    E
The music is in my blood, you don't understand


[Verse 1]
    F#m
Sleepless nights at the black and white keys
 D
I'll let my fingers say it for me
 E                             F#m
Sometimes my spirit's still so scared
 F#m
Once I put it in a melody it means so much more to me
 D
Fate sealed, I guess this is how I feel
 E                               F#m
Sometimes I swear the lyrics write me
               D
The lyrics write me


[Pre-Chorus 1]
  E
The melody, a remedy to calm me down
           C#m
You never did approve of the fix I found


[Chorus]
 E                           D
Bury all the records in the backyard
                                         F#m
When you're not looking I'll go dig them back up
 E                           D
You can bury my body in the backyard
                                       F#m
When you're not looking I'll go dig myself up
                         D                E                    F#m
And I know all about the drugs they hide inside the music, I know, I know
                      D               E                 F#m D E
I know all about the drugs they hide inside the music


[Verse 2]
        F#m
And the preacher at church must've told you about them too
          D
Cause you came home dead set on what you had to do
             E
You said the demons and drugs hide in rock n roll thugs
     F#m                           D
If I wanna grow up nice, I better give the music up


[Pre-Chorus 2]
     E
The melody a remedy to keep me right
           C#m
You never did approve of my sleepless nights


[Chorus]
 E                           D
Bury all the records in the backyard
                                         F#m
When you're not looking I'll go dig them back up
 E                           D
You can bury my body in the backyard
                                       F#m
When you're not looking I'll go dig myself up
                         D                E                    F#m
And I know all about the drugs they hide inside the music, I know, I know
                      D               E                 F#m D E
I know all about the drugs they hide inside the music


[Bridge]
F#m             E               D
Oh the words unwind, my hands rebel
          E                    D
I hide behind these notes too well
            E       D
I can't pretend anymore

F#m                    D         E
You're not listening, you don't understand
F#m                    D         E
You're not listening, you don't understand
F#m                    D         E
You're not listening, you don't understand
F#m                    D         E
You're not listening, you don't understand


[Chorus]
 E                           D
Bury all the records in the backyard
                                         F#m
When you're not looking I'll go dig them back up
 E                           D
You can bury my body in the backyard
                                       F#m
When you're not looking I'll go dig myself up

[Chorus]
 N.C                           D
Bury all the records in the backyard
                                         F#m
When you're not looking I'll go dig them back up
 E                           D
You can bury my body in the backyard
                                       F#m
When you're not looking I'll go dig myself up
                         D                E                    F#m
And I know all about the drugs they hide inside the music, I know, I know
                      D               E                 F#m D E
I know all about the drugs they hide inside the music
