Dashboard Confessional – These Bones (Ukulele)

Intro- B5 C5 2x C5 D5 or F

Verse- C Am G#5 G F 
Lay my bones,

At the feet of the ministry. I need the guilt and the company. I need the chance to be judged, And then long forgotten.

Verse- C Am G#5 G F 
Lately I just cant shake it.

I count the days in seconds and minutes. Hours and hours and subtle as shards of glass, In the skin. Refrain

   Am
So lay with me.

                        F
I could use the company.

You could help me ease,

Chorus-C Dm Am F 
These bones,

Are like maps and keys, Where they took their hits, And they felt those teeth. There's a story hidden, Underneath. If you dig in deep, Will you find relief,

Chorus-C Dm Am F 
For these bones,

Shudder all night long. The hammer drops. Another scar, For these bones, But I know, They're only my second home. Do verse- Naked and under the cover of night. It's just a matter of time 'til I'm, Counted and measured and filed, And then long forgotten. Forgive my manner of speaking. I know it's quick, but the clock is still ticking, And I've got a few words left burning holes on my tongue. I've been saving them. Do refrain So lay with me. I could use the company. You could help me ease, Do chorus These bones, Are like maps and keys, Where they took their hits, And they felt those teeth. Theres a story hidden, Underneath. If you dig in deep, Will you find relief, For these bones, Shudder all night long. The hammer drops. Another scar, For these bones, But I know, They're only my second home. Bridge- B5-C5 ?x or F
