[Am]

[Verse 1]
Collecting [Em]pieces [Am]of my family i[D]n an o[Am]ld pillow case
[Em]This one has [D]a skull [Am]but
it don't have [Em]a face
These look like the [D]arms
[Am]of father so [Em]strong
And the ring on this fin[G]ger means [Am]my Grandma is
[C]gone
[Em][G][Am][C][Em][G]

[Verse 2]
[Am][C]
Here's some [Em]legs in [G]a cloud where
my sis[Am]ter once p[C]layed
Here's some [Em]mud made of [G]blood
and these [Am]teeth are [C]decayed
The [Em]ear of m[G]y brother,
The [Am]hand of [C]a friend
And I [Em]just can't [G]put them
back to[Am]gether again

[Verse 3]
[Em]Pick up the bones [G]and set them on fire
[Am]Follow the smoke going
[Em]higher and [Am]higher
[Em]Pick up the bones and
[G]wish them goodnight
[Am]Pray 'em a prayer and [Em]turn out the light
[G][Am][Em][Am][Em][G]

[Verse 4]
[Am]
There [Em]are stains on [D]the floor where
kit[Am]chen once stood
There are ribs on [D]the fire place
[Am]mixed with [G]the wood
[Am]There [Em]are forces in [D]the air,
[Am]ghosts in the wind
Some [Em]bullets in the [G]back and
[Am]some scars on [C]the skin

[Verse 5]
There [Em]were demons with [G]guns who
[Am]marched through this [C]place
Killing [Em]everything that [G]breathed,
they're an [Am]inhuman [C]race
There are [Em]holes in the wall[G]s,
bloody [Am]hair on the brick[C]s
And [Em]the smell of this [G]hell is
[Am]making [G]me sick[Am]

[Verse 6]
[Em]Pick up the bones [G]and set them on fire
[Am]Fol low the smoke going
[Em]higher and [Am]higher[D]
[Em]Pick up the bones and
[G]wish them goodnight
[Am]Pray 'em a [D]prayer and [Em]turn out [G]the light[Am]

[Verse 7]
[Em]Pick up the bones [G]and set them on fire
[Am]Follow the scope going [Em]higher
and [G]higher[Am]
[Em]Pick up the bones and
[G]wish them goodnight
[Am]Pray 'em a prayer and [Em]turn out
[G]the light[D]
[Em][Am][Em]

[Verse 8]
[Am]
[G]Now[Em] maybe someday
[Am]the suns gonna shine[D]
Flowers [Em]will [D]bloom and all will [Am]be fine
But [Em]nothing'll [D]grow on this
burnt cursed [G]ground
'Cause [Em]the breathe of the
[D]death is the only sound
