Intro:  C   Em   Am   G  D/F#  
I've got sCkin and I've got bones
Built to hEmold your body close
Build a sheAmll, a driftwood heaGrt
Made out of stoD/F#ne
Trace my toCngue along your hips
Planting flEmowers with my lips
Carving heaAmrts inside your palGms
With empty fiD/F#ngertips
But I'm fAmeeling so alone
Wishing E/G#you would just come home
Because it's geEm/Gtting dark
And all I have is tiD/F#me
And tFime may be the death of me
But tFmime will never get the best of usC  
With a teaGr
I G#msay gooAmdbye
And C/Gwatch the mFoonlight
LFmeave your eyeCs
Kiss me deGar
G#mOne more tiAmme
C/GTake my haFnd 
And hFmold it tight
C Em Am G D/F#
Broken stCitches in your back
Where your wEmings were once attached
And the dAmevil in your veGins
To keep you coD/F#mpany
Lay your skCull across my chest
Burn your flEmesh into my flesh
Painting rAmaindrops with your bGlood
Until it's D/F#all been bled
But you're feAmeling so alone
And wishing E/G#I would just come home
Cause it's gEm/Getting dark
And all you have is tD/F#ime
And tFime may be the death of you
But tFmime will never get the best of usC

Kiss me deGar
G#mOne more Amtime
C/GTake my Fhand
And hFmold it tight
  AmOh what a tangled web we wE/G#eave
  With our lust full, bursting at the sEm/Geams
  This driftwood heart is only yoD/F#ursF  
  But I'm drifting from the shFmoreC  
And with a tEmear
I say goodAmbye
And watch the moFonlight
LFmeave your eyesC  
With a teGar

Take my hand

And hold it tight

Broken stitches in your back

To keep you company

Lay your skull across my chest

Burn your flesh into my flesh

Painting raindrops with your blood

Until it's all been bled
