[Opening]
I took a [Am]journey to the lowest place on[F] Earth
Got a [Am]shovel and I dug into the dirt[F]
Put an[Am] apple and some water in my [F]backpack
Well, I don’t [Dm]know if I will ever take a [G]backtrack
Black’s[Am] the only colour I could [F]see
Then my hand[Am] just disappeared in front of me[F]
And when I [Am]finally hit a piece of solid stone[F]
Began to [Dm]wonder if I’ll ever make it[G] home

[chorus]
This might[F] be the lowest [Am]place on Earth[G]
Gone too [F]deep but, for [Am]what it’s worth[G]
I have been[F] to the bottom, I’ve drilled[G] through the rock
And I know[Am] how it feels to just fall[C] from the top
Might be[F] the lowest [Am]place on Earth[G]

[verse 2]
I kept on [Am]digging till it turned into a climb[F]
That’s when I [Am]knew that I had reached the other side[F]
My [Am]biceps turned into a solid rock[F]
I found my [Dm]rhythm and I knew I couldn’t stop[G]
When the light[Am] began to leak into the cave[A]
I cried[F] because I knew I had been[G] saved

[chorus]
This might[F] be the lowest [Am]place on Earth[G]
Gone too [F]deep but, for [Am]what it’s worth[G]
I have been[F] to the bottom, I’ve drilled[G] through the rock
And I know[Am] how it feels to just fall[C] from the top
Might be[F] the lowest [Am]place on Earth[G]

[Closing]
[F]Digging and digging till I see the Sun
[G]I dig the hole that I must overcome
[F]Climbing and climbing till I make it out
[G]Pulling my body onto solid ground

[chorus]
Might[F] be the lowest [Am]place on Earth[G]
Gone too [F]deep but, for [Am]what it’s worth[G]
I have been[F] to the bottom, I’ve drilled[G] through the rock
And I know[Am] how it feels to just fall[C] from the top
Might be[F] the lowest [Am]place on Earth[G]
