Artist: Gilby Clarke
tab by Nano Dude
Tuning: Standard
Intro: [G]
The lGast time I fell I left a piece of myself
I was sFo broken up, I shDould've stayed down
HeGaven can't you help me I'm losing this war
I woFn't die young from with just bDattle scars
CHORUS:
Keep the Csus9devil oGut of my soul; c'mon and Csus9save me
From a heGart of stone
Csus9 G  F  
Tell the Lord he can take me now, I'm a shell of a man
DJust skin and bonGes
I had a little sister who could drink up a storm
If the liquor didn't kill her she'd be twenty-one
The good times, bad times, remember them all?
Must have been the thunder and alcohol
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
The skEeletons in the closet keep me awAake at night
ECsus9
The thing that really scares me are the monsters
I lDive with everydaGy
SOLO is the same progression as the 1st verse x2
Repeat 1st verse
Keep the Csus9devil oGut of my soul; c'mon and Csus9save me
From a heGart of stone
Csus9 G  F  
Tell the Lord he can take me now, I'm a shell of a man
DJust skin and bonGes
FOh Just sDkin and bonGes
FJust sDkin and bonGes
F   D   G[ F   D  G]
Oh Just skin and bones
