400 Bones Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][A][D][G]
[A][D][G]

[Verse 1]
Four hundred [G]bones,
crumpled [A]in bed
I'm the only [D]one who knows
that you're still [G]breathing
Beneath the blanket,
of another [A]French death
This after[D]noon is one I will
be keep[G]ing
Where skin is painted
by a brush [A]from the Sun
Pull the sheets [D]up to your neck
so She can[G]'t see us
And let the clocks do all the worry
[A]ing for once
We're passing out [D]inside the sleeping
mauso[G]leum

[Interlude 1]
[G][A][D][G][Bm]
[A][D][G]
This [Bm]is my safe house in [A]the hurricane

[Verse 2]
Here is where [D]my love lays,
two hundred treasured [G]bones
This [Bm]is my warmth behind [A]the Cold War
This is what [D]I'm living for,
forever coming [G]home
Here's [Bm]to the room I can [G]rest [A]in
The door I've always opene[D]d,
never to [G]be closed
You [Bm]as my horizon line,
[G]the star [A]I navigate by
Takes me back [D]to hold 200 perfect [G]bones[Bm]
[G][A][D]

[Interlude 2]
[G]
[Bm][A][D][G]
[A][D][G]

[Verse 3]
On absent days I will [A]return
to this place
And play a [D]silent colour film
within [G]my head
In which the pillow leaves
a cold [A]upon your face
[F#m]And all [D]at once it all makes perfect
[G]sense
400 bones crumpled [A]in bed
I'm [F#m]the only [D]one who knows
that you're still breath[G]ing
