Key: E
Introduction:
Em
If you live inside the old graveyard
C
Your skin and bones get kind of hard
Bm Em
You blame it on all of the ones who left you
Em
If you're in the closet with a broom
C
Why don't you sweep around the room
Bm Em
Make little piles of all the things you don't understand
D F# Bm Em
But it's in the mouth, it's in the blood
D B Bm C
It's sweet, the taste, the spit of love
D B Bm Em
Poor skin, too thick to understand
D B Bm Em
The gravity and graceful plans
Em
In the place that's made of old relations
C
Where some got loved, some got hated
B Em
How absently you move around, how listless
How in the night the battle raged
C Em
Under the blankets, were we brave
B Em
At least enough to recognize the storm is just a storm
D B Bm Em
Shine the lights across the bridge
D B Bm Em
The surface you can't follow it
D B Bm Em
The glossy night, the wind in fits
D B Bm Em
Get girders buckling at their bits
Em
Will I be this way when I'm dead
Will I go home and go to bed
B
Will I wake up and wonder
Em
Did something happen here
The weatherman, well he should know
C Em
The doctor, too, from down below
B Em
They call to one another ?cross the riding in the night
C
Don't forget, you've got love
B Em
You've got bravery, you've got trust
C
You've got bodies, responsibilities
B Em
There's still mountains, they're pushing up from underneath
C
You've got pain, caused plenty of
B Em
It's not so strange but now you've had enough
C
Don't forget your bones and skin
Em B E
Or where you go, or where you've been
