[Intro] E G#m F# E x3 [Verse]
E                    G#m
  I came here for sanctuary

 F#                                           E
Away from the winds and the sounds of the city

E                   G#m
  I came here to get some peace

F#                                       E
Way down deep where the shadows are heavy

E                       G#m
  I can't help but think of you

    F#                                          E
In these four walls my thoughts seem to wander

E                   G#m
  To some distant century

      F#                                E
When everyone we know is six feet under
[Pre-Chorus]
     E                       G#m
When all of our friends are dead and just a memory

    E                         G#m
And we're side by side it's always been just you and me

    E      G#m
For all to see
[Chorus]
     E              G#m     F#          E
When our lives are over and all that remains

    E                G#m       F#             E
Are our skulls and bones let's take it to the grave

    E                     G#m
And hold me in your arms, hold me in your arms

F#             E
I'll be buried here with you

    E            G#m         F#          E
And I'll hold in these hands all that remains
[Verse]
E                    G#m
  I don't want to rest in peace

F#                                     E
I'd rather be the ghost that annoys you

E                   G#m
  I hope you can make me laugh

F#                                          E
Six feet down when we're bored of each other

E                 G#m
  A match is our only light

     F#                                        E
It's day of the dead and I'm Indiana Jones here

E                    G#m
  These coins sit upon our eyes

F#                                      E
Pool our funds and pay the boat together
[Pre-Chorus]
     E                       G#m
When all of our friends are dead and just a memory

    E                         G#m
And we're side by side it's always been just you and me

    E      G#m
For all to see
[Chorus]
     E              G#m     F#          E
When our lives are over and all that remains

    E                G#m       F#             E
Are our skulls and bones let's take it to the grave

    E                     G#m
And hold me in your arms, hold me in your arms

F#             E
I'll be buried here with you

    E            G#m         F#          E
And I'll hold in these hands all that remains
[Bridge]
    E                   G#m
And now it's all before you

F#                    E
Hold me in your arms, hold me in your arms

    E                   G#m
And now it's all before you

F#                    E
Hold me in your arms, hold me in your arms
[Chorus]
     E              G#m     F#          E
When our lives are over and all that remains

    E                G#m       F#             E
Are our skulls and bones let's take it to the grave

    E                     G#m
And hold me in your arms, hold me in your arms

F#             E
I'll be buried here with you

    E            G#m         F#          E
And I'll hold in these hands all that remains
