[Verse 1]
C#m E B F#
The skeleton in the cupboard is standing there to see you

He hasn't any brains left but there's something in their place

[Chorus 1]
E B F#m C#m
He tries to drag me down all the time
D C#m
And make no bones about it

I don't doubt it that a dog could have a better life
E B F#m C#m
He just drags me down all the time
D C#m
And make no bones about it
