transposed up a whole step: 

 
[Verse 1]
C#m      B       F#      C#m    B  F#
Bury me softly in this womb
C#m          B       F#      C#m   B  F#
I give this part of me for you
C#m                  B      F#
Sand rains down and here I sit
C#m           B
Holding rare flowers
F#     C#m      B  F#    C#m B F#
In a tomb
C#m                   B             F#        C#m    B  F#
Down in a hole and I don't know if I can be saved
C#m                  B       F#      C#m     B  F#
See my heart, I decorate it like a grave
C#m
You don't understand who they
B             F#           C#m     B  F#
Thought I was supposed to be
C#m                         B
Look at me now, I'm a man
F#                     C#m   B  F#
Who won't let himself be
 
[Chorus]
F#m             E B     F#m              E  B
Down in a hole,        losin' my soul
F#m             E B     F#m              E  B
Down in a hole,        losin' control
F#m     E     C#m    E    B
I'd   like   to    fly,
A                         C#m      B  F#  C#m   B  F#
But my wings have been so denied
 
[Verse 2]
C#m                         B
Down in a hole and they've put all
    F#               C#m      B   F#
The stones in their place
C#m                       B
I've eaten the sun so my tongue
         F#             C#m     B   F#
Has been burned of the taste
C#m
I have been guilty
   B           F#         C#m     B   F#
Of kicking myself in the teeth
C#m              B
I will speak no more
      F#       C#m        B   F#
Of my feelings beneath
 
[Chorus]
F#m             E  B    F#m              E  B
Down in a hole,        losin' my soul
F#m             E  B    F#m              E  B
Down in a hole,        losin' control
F#m     E      C#m     E    B
I'd    like   to     fly
A                         C#m      B F#   C#m   B  F#
But my wings have been so denied
 
[Verse 3]
C#m      B      F#       C#m
Bury me softly in this womb,
C#m            B    F#       C#m
Oh, I want to be inside of you
C#m          B       F#      C#m
I give this part of me for you,
C#m            B    F#       C#m
Oh, I want to be inside of you
C#m                   B   F#
Sand rains down and here I sit
C#m           B
Holding rare flowers,
F#    C#m
In a tomb
C#m            B     F#
Oh, I want to be inside...
 
[Chorus]
F#m             E  B    F#m              E  B
Down in a hole,        losin' my soul
F#m             E  B    F#m                E  B
Down in a hole,        feelin' so small
F#m             E  B    F#m              E  B
Down in a hole,        losin' my soul
F#m             E  B    F#m             E  B
Down in a hole,        outta control
F#m     E      C#m      E    B
I'd    like   to      fly
    A                       C#m     B  F#
But my wings have been so denied
 
[Outro]
