[Verse 1]
Dm9
There's a bone in my ear

                    Am9
Keeps singing your name

Dm9
Sometimes it's like pleasure

                     Am9
Sometimes it's like pain

Em
It's a small voice and quiet

               Dm9
But I hear it plain

Em
There's a bone in my ear

                    Am9
Keeps singing your name
[Verse 2]
Dm9
In my heart there's an image

                      Am9
Like looking through glass

Dm9
Could be looking at me

                        Am9
Could be looking right past

Em
I don't like it when

                       Dm9
I can't tell which is true

Em
But I wouldn't trade the world

                     Am9
For that picture of you
[Instrumental Break] Repeat Intro [Verse 3]
Dm9
Moon in the water

                     Am9
Cold light in the streets

Dm9
Warmth in your fingers

                Am9
Sweat in your sheets

Em
Laid out like an offering

                    Dm9
Where two currents meet

Em
The river is dark

                   Am9
But the water is sweet
[Verse 4]
Dm9
Wailing on the mountain

              Am9
Smoke on the wind

Dm9
Can't drown out the whisper

                      Am9
Or the scent of your skin

Em
Don't know where it came from

                     Dm9
But I know where it came

Em
There's a bone in my ear

                    Am9
Keeps singing your name
