Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][F]
[G][Am]

[Verse 1]
She wheezes [Am]out
[Dm]her dying [Am]wish
"Come closer, one more moment,
[Dm]one more[F] kiss"[G]
And I [F]love her,
I give her all I [Bm]can[Am]
Her body sink[C]s, [Dm]her heat r[G]eleased
[Am]The curtain swings,
this [C]time [G]she [F]lea[G]ves
I'll re[F]member all she's done [G]for me
[Am]But [Dm]only I[Am] forgot
[G]That [F]I'm not [Am]ready[F] to let [G]her
go
[F][Am][F][C][B5][Bm][Am][G]

[Verse 2]
As [F]all time moves,
[Am]you'll be riddled [G]with doubt
[F]You mourn to pull through
But love [Em]is dangerou[Dm]s[Am]

[Verse 3]
When [Am]skeletons [F]live inside your closets,
[G]thick [Am]and [Dm]thin
You'll [Am]fear [Em]that no on[G]e will
[Am]hear us sing [Dm]our s[Am]ong [F]s
The truth is [Am]rel e[Dm]vant,
but not for [Am]long[Em]
'Cause [G]love is our downfall
[Am]

[Verse 4]
[Dm]
[F]Oh, I'm [Em]sorry this [Am]life
cuts out everything
And [Dm]leaves you [F]to scrounge for [Em]nothing
[G](Gi[Am]ve us the monster)

[Verse 5]
There's no [Am]chance [Dm]to try
and [G]mend[Am]
What's been [Dm]broken [Am]can't b[C]e be[G]nt[F]
[G]So the [F]past remains the pas[G]t
[Bm]un t[G]il p[Am]resent
The cradle sways [Dm]this black dis[Am]guise
This chained coffin breathes
our [C]time's [Am]de mi[F]se[G]
All these [F]shackles deceive just how long
[G]I'v[Bm]e gri[Am]eved
[G]

[Verse 6]
[Dm]
[G]I made [F]my move with
no [Am]worry or [G]doubt
[Dm]Let [G]them l[Am]ive [F]as they do,
my eternal re[Am]minder

[Verse 7]
When [Am]skeletons [F]live inside your closets,
[G]thick [Am]and [Dm]thin
You'll [Em]fear that [G]no one will
[Am]hear us sing our [F]songs
The truth [Am]is r[Dm]elevant but
not for [D]long[Em]
'Cause [G]love [Em]is our d[G]ownf[F]all
[Am][F][Bm][G][Am]

[Verse 8]
I'm sorry, but [Bm]the hurt's not [C]going
[G]away[F][Am][Em][F][Bm][G][Am]
I'll bury all the [Bm]past,
[C]everything in [G]its [F]place
[G](Give us [Dm]the m[Am]onster)

[Verse 9]
When [Am]skeletons [F]live inside your closets,
[G]thick [Am]and [Dm]thin
You'll [D]fear [Em]that no on[G]e will
[Am]hear us sing [Dm]our s[Am]ong [F]s
The truth [Am]is relev[Dm]ant but
not for [D]long[Em]
'Cause [G]love,
[Am]when skeletons live[F][Am]
When skeletons [F]live[G][Am][Dm]
When skeletons [Am]live [F]inside your closets,
thick and [Am]thin[Dm]
You'll [Am]fear [Em]that
[G]no one will [Am]hear

[Verse 10]
[Dm]Oh, [F]I'm sorr[Em]y this life[Am]
cuts out everything
And [Dm]leaves you to [F]scrounge
for [Em]nothing
[G](Give us [Am]the monster) cuts
out everything
And [Dm]leaves you to [F]scrounge
for nothing
[Dm](Give us [Am]the monster) cuts out
everything
And [Dm]leaves you to [F]scrounge
for [Em]nothing
[Am](Give us the monster)
