Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 Something in me, dark and sticky
 All the time it's getting strong
 No way of dealing with this feeling
 Can't go on like this too long
  This time you've gone too far
  This time you've gone too far
  This time you've gone too far,
 I told you, I told you, I told you, I told you
 
 Don't talk back, just drive the car
 
 Shut your mouth, I know what you are
 
 Don't say nothing, keep your hands on the wheel
 
 Don't turn around, this is for real
  Digging in the dirt
  Stay with me I need support
  I'm digging in the dirt
  Find the places I got hurt
 Open up the places I got hurt
 The more I look, the more I find
 As I close on in, I get so blind
 I feel it in my head, I feel it in my toes
 I feel it in my sex, that's the place it goes
 Digging in the dirt, to find the places we got hurt...
