[F#] [E] [A]
Skeleton, you are my [F#m] friend, but [E] you are made [A] of bone
[F#] [C#m] [A] And you have got no flesh and [F#] blood running through [G#m] you to help you [A] take the bone
[F#] [E] [A]
Skeleton, we have been [F#m] friends for [E] years
[A] And you have seen me through some [F#m] trials and [E] tribulation and [A] some tears
[F#m] Everybody [E] thinks I'm [A]
weird
[F#m] [E] And I [A] should have [D] known [F#m] that it wouldn't [D] be long [F#m] until you
You've [E] got me standing [D] in an awkward [A] position [F#m] with unwanted [E] attention [A] and a need for explanation
[F#m] And it's not [E] that I'm letting [D] go [F#m] of you, but I don't know what to [E] [A] do
Skeleton, we are so [F#m] [E] close
[A] But you have got no body, [F#m] so why do [E] you insist [A] on wearing clothes?
[F#m] [E] [A]
[F#m] [E] [A]
Skeleton, when we were [F#m] young it [E] was [A] easy
Even though the other [F#m] kids, they [E] would tease [A] me
I was only seven, [F#m] I had you, [E] now I'm [A]
22
[F#m] [E] And [A] now it's [D] different [F#m] when I take [D] you out
[F#m] And you, you've [E] got me standing [A] in an awkward position [F#m] with unwanted [E] attention [A] and a need for explanation
[F#m] And it's not [E] that I'm letting [D] go of you, [F#m] but I don't know what to [E] [A] do
[Dm]
[Am] Sometimes [Dm]
[Am] at night [Dm] I dream [Am] of the [Dm] most terrible [Am] things
[D] But all I [Am] can [B] remember are [Dm] the tears of [Am] a man
And [Dm] the rain, I [Am] ain't in high
And [Dm] the smile I [Am] ash your head
[Dm]
If you laugh, [A] I'll kill you
But [Dm] I'm weak, so I'll play [Am] you too
In [Dm]
front [Em] of you, [Dm] I'll smash the [Am] you
