Introduction:
G Em7 D C9
There's a skeleton, in everybody's closet
D Em7 C9
I can think of one or two in my own room
G Em7 D C9
But I would like to introduce them both to you
D Em7 C9
Shake their bony hands and so dispell the gloom
D Em7
Cause your so kind
D C9
I know you would not mind
G Em7 D C9
You'd send away the ghosts that haunt me now
D Em7
And the things I fear
D C9
Just wouldn't seem so near
G Em7
And when I stroll out late at night
D C9 G
There would be nothin' rattlin' at my heels
G Em7 D C9
There are night when all my aching bones won't let me sleep
D Em7 C9
And demons come to plague me as I lie in bed
G Em7 D C9
But I know if you were sleeping there beside me then
D Em7 C9
That you would fend them off and they would let me rest
D Em7
Cause your so kind
D C9
I know you would not mind
G Em7 D C9
You'd send away the ghosts that haunt me now
D Em7
And the things I fear
D C9
Just wouldn't seem so near
G Em7
And when I stroll out late at night
D C9
There would be nothin' rattlin' at my heels
D Em7
There are nights
D C9
When the wind comes howling through my old place
D Em7
I have dreams
D C9
And I wake up with the sweat pouring down my face
G Em7 D
And I wait.........
C9
Till the morning comes
G Em7 D C9
There will come a time I fear when all my days are done
D Em7 C9
And they will come collect my corpse and bury me
G Em7 D C9
And then I hope that you'll come over to the Other Side
D Em7 C9
Join me in our new life, keep me company
D Em7
Cause your so kind
D C9
I know you would not mind
G Em7 D C9
You'd send away the ghosts that haunt me now
D Em7
And the things I fear
D C9
Just wouldn't seem so near
G Em7
And when I stroll out late at night
D C9 G
There would be nothin' rattlin' at my heels
