[Intro]
 G   A   D   G(x2)
[Verse 1]
G400 Bones, Acrumpled in bed
I'm the Donly one who knows that you're still Gbreathing
GBeneath the blanket of another AFrench death
This Dafternoon is one I will be Gkeeping
GWhere skin is painted by a Abrush from the sun
Pull the Dsheets up to your neck so she can't Gsee us
GAnd let the clocks do all the worrying for once
We're passing Dout inside the sleeping Gmausoleum
[Bridge]
 Bm   A   D   G(x2)
BmThis is my safe house in the Ahurricane
Here is where my Dlove lays, 200 treasured Gbones
BmThis is my warmth behind the ACold War
This is what I'm Dliving for, forever coming Ghome
BmHere's to the room I can Arest in
The door I've always Dopened, never to be Gclosed
BmYou as my horizon line, Athe star I navigate by
Takes me Dback to hold 200 perfect Gbones
[Outro]
 Bm   A   D   G(x2)
G A D G
GOn absent days I will Areturn to this place
And play a Dsilent colour film within my Ghead
GIn which the pillow leaves a Acode upon your face
DAnd all at once it all makes perfect Gsense
G400 bones, Acrumpled in bed
I'm the Donly one who knows that you're still Gbreathing

[Intro]

G A D G

(x2)

[Verse 1]

G A

400 Bones, crumpled in bed

D G

I'm the only one who knows that you're still breathing

G A

Beneath the blanket of another French death

D G

This afternoon is one I will be keeping

G A

Where skin is painted by a brush from the sun

D G

Pull the sheets up to your neck so she can't see us

And let the clocks do all the worrying for once

D G

We're passing out inside the sleeping mausoleum

[Bridge]

Bm A D G

(x2)

Bm A

This is my safe house in the hurricane

D G

Here is where my love lays, 200 treasured bones

Bm A

This is my warmth behind the Cold War

D G

This is what I'm living for, forever coming home

Bm A

Here's to the room I can rest in

D G

The door I've always opened, never to be closed

Bm A

You as my horizon line, the star I navigate by

D G

Takes me back to hold 200 perfect bones

[Outro]

Bm A D G

(x2)

G A D G

G A

On absent days I will return to this place

D G

And play a silent colour film within my head

G A

In which the pillow leaves a code upon your face

D G

And all at once it all makes perfect sense

G A

400 bones, crumpled in bed

D G

I'm the only one who knows that you're still breathing
