The skeleton in the cupboard is standing there to see you

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

Making any ordinary day change its face

He tries to drag me down all the time
C Bm
And make no bones about it

I don't doubt it that a dog could have a better life
D A Em Bm
He just drags me down all the time
C Bm
And make no bones about it

I don't doubt it that a dog could have a better life

The only pleasant dream I have is rotting in a grave
