Track: These Bones
Album: The Shade of Poison
Tuning: Standard
Intro:
[B]Lay my bones
At the feet of the[G#m] ministry
I need the guilt and the [G]company
I need the chance to be[F#m] judged
And then [E]long forgotten
[B]Lately I just can't shake it
[G#m]I count the days in seconds and minutes
[G]Hours and hours are subtle as shards of[F#m] glass
In the [E]skin
So [C#m]lay [B]with me
[C#m] I could [B]use the [E]com[B]pany
You cou[E]ld help me [B]ease
[B]These bones
Are like maps and keys
Where they [C#m]took their hits
And they felt those teeth
There's a [G#m]story hidden
Underneath
If you [E]dig in deep
Will you find relief?
For [B]these bones
Shudder all night long
The [C#m]hammer drops
Another scar
For [G#m]these bones
But I know
They're[E] only my second home.
( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/d/dashboard_confessional/these_bones_crd.html )
[B]Naked and under the cover of [G#m]night
It's just a matter of [G]time 'til I'm
Counted and measured and [F#m]filed
And then [E]long forgotten
For[B]give my manner of speaking
I [G#m]know it's quick, but the clock is still ticking
And [G]I've got a few words left burning holes on my [F#m]tongue
I've been [E]saving them
So [C#m]lay [B]with me
[C#m] I could [B]use the [E]com[B]pany
You cou[E]ld help me [B]ease
[B]These bones
Are like maps and keys
Where they [C#m]took their hits
And they felt those teeth
There's a [G#m]story hidden
Underneath
If you [E]dig in deep
Will you find relief?
For [B]these bones
Shudder all night long
The [C#m]hammer drops
Another scar
For [G#m]these bones
But I know
They're[E] only my second home.
[E] [B] [F#m] No you won't go down alone
[G#m] [E] No you won't go down a[B]lone
[F#m] No you won't go down alone [G#m]
[E] No you won't go down a[E]lone
C#m (let ring)
So lay with me
E (let ring)
I could use the company
You cou[E]ld help me [B]ease
[B]These bones
Are like maps and keys
Where they [C#m]took their hits
And they felt those teeth
There's a [G#m]story hidden
Underneath
If you [E]dig in deep
Will you find relief?
For [B]these bones
Show like maps and keys
Where they[C#m] took their hits
And they felt those teeth
There's a [G#m]story hidden
Underneath
If you [E]dig in deep
And you find relief
For [E]these bones
'Cause I know
That you won't go down alone.
