The Hole Chords & Lyrics - Randy Travis

[INTRO]
[F] [C] [Bb] [F]
[F]A friend of mine bought himself a shovel
Said I?m gonna tunnel me a mine [C]

He set out to be a rich man
Hap[C7]piness is what he thought he?d fine [F]

Got in to deep to see the diamond
Down to dark to see the gold [C]
[Bb]Now he won?t let go of the shovel [F]
And he can?t d[C]ig out of the hole [F]

[CHORUS]
[Bb]Deeper and deeper he?s going[F] down
[Bb]Driving his fut[F]ure right into [G]the ground [C]
[Bb]He thinks he?s closer [F]the further he g[Bb]oes [F]
But he's still[Bb] on the bottom[F]
And he can?t [C]dig out of the hole
[F]I tried to throw the man a life line
I tried to send him down a rope [C]

I don?t think he hears me calling
But[C7] everyday I pray and hope [F]
[F]Somehow he finally gets the message
Every spade of dirt he throws [C]
[Bb]Only gets him closer to the devil [F]
And he can?t [C]dig out of the hole [F]

repeat chorus:
[F]Maybe we could learn a little lesson
Maybe this?ll shine a little light [C]

Cause theirs no healthy way to mess with
The[C7] line between wrong and right [F]

Use the one chance you?ve been given
Cause once your in the ground and cold [C]
[Bb]It?s too late to start livin[F] ?
You see you can?t di[C]g out of the hole

Repeat chorus:

It?s hell on the bottom

And you can?t dig out of the hole
