[Intro 1]
[D][A][G]
[D][A][G]
[D][Bm][D][A][G]

[Verse 1]
[Bm]Rob
lived in a [G]box by the [Bm]rails
Only thing he [G]knew is you don't [Bm]fail
When you live in a [G]box by the [A]rails
Don't comb your [G]hair,
don't comb your [D]tail

[Verse 2]
[D]Sweep my mess away
Leave my body, leave my bones
Leave me whole and leave my soul
Leave me [G]nothin' I don't
[Bm]need at all
[G]Nothin' I don't [D]need at all
[A]

[Verse 3]
[G]
[Bm]He ate from the [G]bins in the [Bm]park
Stayed out with the [G]rats after [Bm]dark
Never left a [G]trail, never made his [A]mark
When he ate with the [G]rats after [D]dark

[Verse 4]
Sweep my mess [D]away
Leave my body, leave my bones
Leave me whole and leave my soul
Leave me [G]nothin' I don't
[Bm]need at all
[G]Nothin' I don't [D]need at all
[A][G]

[Verse 5]
[Bm]Callin' on his [G]friends
never made him [Bm]sad
Didn't want the [G]things
he never [Bm]had
It only made [G]them feel so [A]sad
For having the [G]things he never [D]had

[Verse 6]
Sweep my mess away [D]Leave my
body, leave my bones
Leave me whole and leave my soul
Leave me [G]nothin' I don't
[Bm]need at all
[G]Nothin' I don't [D]need at all
[A][G]

[Verse 7]
[Bm]If you stay in that bo[G]x overnight
[Bm]And don't get [G]out when
it gets [Bm]light
There's not much [G]lost of a secret [A]life
That's never done [G]wrong
and it's never done [Bm]right

[Verse 8]
Now some [G]more flowers [Bm]grow
And the corn gets [G]eaten by
a few more [Bm]crows
And an old man's [G]box is full of bones
[A]Won't see his foo[G]tprints
in the [D]snow

[Verse 9]
[D]Sweep my mess away
Leave my body, leave my bones
Leave me whole and leave my soul
Leave me [G]nothin' I don't
need at [Bm]all
[G]Nothin' I don't [D]need at all

[Verse 10]
Sweep my mess [D]away
Leave my body, leave my bones
Leave me whole and leave my soul
Leave me [G]nothin' I
don't need at [Bm]all
[G]Nothin' I don't [D]need at all
