Capo @ 4th
(Intro) Bm  
BmEveryone's right and Ano one is sorry
GThat's the start and the Emend of this story
From the sGharks and the jets
To the call in the morning
(  Bm   G   A) 2x
BmEveryone's right and Gno one is sorry
AThat's the start and the end of this story
BmFrom the sharks and the jets
To the cGall in the morning
AAnd life is just bets anyway
(Chorus)
EmLook alAive, Gsee these Dbones
EmWhat you are Anow, Gwe were Donce
BmTry as they mighGt, no one's immune to
AMisfiring and acting on the wrong clues
BmAnd thinkin' it's tGime to redo and reAdo
I feeBml rain in the movies
And the tGalk before the screen lights
AI hear strings in the park
BmI don't like to call her right,
GExcept when its too late at night
I Amostly just think in the dark
(Chorus)
EmLook alAive, Gsee these Dbones
EmWhat you are Anow, Gwe were Donce
EmJust like we Aare, Gyou'll be Ddust
EmAnd just like we Aare, GpermanDent
(   Bm    A    G    Em    G   G)
You were Bmtoo tired to eat, too hAungry to sleGepEm  G  
BmJust imagine the spAe-  G-  -Emed
GIt's just what you need
(Chorus)
EmLook alAive, Gsee these Dbones
EmWhat you are Anow, Gwe were Donce
EmJust like we Aare, Gyou'll be Ddust
EmAnd just like we Aare, GpermanDent
(  Em   A   G   D)
The lights in the city
Are more or less blinking
Which side of the story
Decides what you're thinking
We'll amount in cold faces
We're squinting, we're hurrying
we'll take inventory
we're digging, we're burrying
(  Em   A   G   D)
Do you remember when the line was blown
Do you remember when it fell
Do you remember when you went to her house,
Remember ringing the bell
(Chorus)
EmLook alAive, Gsee these Dbones
EmWhat you are Anow, Gwe were Donce
EmJust like we Aare, Gyou'll be Ddust
EmAnd just like we Aare, GperG/F#manenEmtD
