[Verse]
If you Emlive inside the old graveyard
Your Cskin and bones get kind of hard
You Bmblame it on all of the ones who Emleft you
EmIf you're in the closet with a broom
Why don't you Csweep around the room
Make lBmittle piles of all the things you don't Emunderstand
DBut it's in the mF#outh, it's Bmin the bEmlood
It's sDweet, the tBaste, the Bmspit of Clove
DPoor Bskin, too tBmhick to unEmderstand
The DgravitBy and Bmgraceful Emplans
EmIn the place that's made of old relations
Where soCme got loved, some got hated
How absBently you move around, how lisEmtless
How in the night the battle raged
UndeCr the blankets, were we brEmave
At leBast enough to recognize the stEmorm is just a storm
ShDine the ligBhts acBmross the Embridge
The surDface yoBu can't fBmollow Emit
The glDossy niBght, the wBmind in fEmits
Get girDders buckBling at tBmheir biEmts
Will EmI be this way when I'm dead
Will I go home and go to bed
Will BI wake up and wonder
Did sEmomething happen here
The weatherman, well he should know
The dCoctor, too, from dEmown below
They caBll to one another âcross the Emriding in the night
Don't forget, you've got lCove
You've got braBvery, you've got trEmust
You've got bodies, responsCibilities
There's still mouBntains, they're pushing up from Emunderneath
You've got pain, caused pleCnty of
It's not so stBrange but now you've had enEmough
Don't forget your bones and sCkin
Or where you EmgoB, or where you've beEen

[Verse]

If you live inside the old graveyard

Your skin and bones get kind of hard

Bm Em

You blame it on all of the ones who left you

If you're in the closet with a broom

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

In the place that's made of old relations

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

Will I be this way when I'm dead

Will I go home and go to bed

Will I wake up and wonder

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 âcross the riding in the night

Don't forget, you've got love

B Em

You've got bravery, you've got trust

You've got bodies, responsibilities

B Em

There's still mountains, they're pushing up from underneath

You've got pain, caused plenty of

B Em

It's not so strange but now you've had enough

Don't forget your bones and skin

Em B E

Or where you go, or where you've been
