Verse
E F#
Oh, I see you in your cobra nest
G#m
All dressed up in your sunday best
E F#
In the opal morning light
G#m
See your gun there, shining bright
Shining bright
[Verse 2]
E F#
Now the storm is on it's way
G#m
Coming here to break the day
Steaming rain
E F#
Oh, you go shoot me down
G#m
Take my halo, yolk and crown
Yolk and crown
[Chorus]
E F# G#m
'Cause I've been to the darkest place I know
E F# G#m
So you, my dear, shouldn't fear what lies below
It's just bones
[Interlude]

(or this)
G#m E E C#m
G#m E C#m E
strum each chord only once, it's like the solo played as chords
[Verse 3]
E F#
Now you go softly soft
G#m
Picking out better bones than your own
E F#
Oh, I see you creep in the dark
G#m
Sticking pins into the rain
To wash away
[Chorus]
E F# G#m
I've been to the only place I know
It's just bones
E F# G#m
So you, my dear, shouldn't fear what lies below
It's just bones
[Bridge]
E
Just bones, bones
F#
bones, bones
G#m
bones, bones
bones, bones
E
bones, bones
F#
bones, bones
G#m
bones, bones
bones, bones
[Chorus]
E F# G#m
So how can love bare to see you, bare to see you go alone?
E F# G#m
I can't bloom, this speeding heart's got the same bone as your own,
As your own
E F# G#m
So you, my dear, shouldn't fear what lies below
It's just bones
E F# G#m
And I've been to the darkest place you know
It's just bones
[Outro]
