Cadd9                     G
I guess I'll never grow a sideburn,

        D                              Em
it's a shame with all I've got to go between

Cadd9              G
I hope somebody's cause takes soon

              D                               Em
it's getting hard to find a place a root can sink

Cadd9              G
Mama said a lot of things and be thankful was

    D                            Em
the one she never minded saying twice

Cadd9               G
Thanks to her I can think clear enough,

       D                              Em
to be thankful that she died before tonight
[Chorus]
G                      Am
Baby, every bone in my body's gone to jumping

             C                       G
like they're gonna come through my skin

              G                             C
If they could get along without the rest of me,

                           D      C
it wouldn't matter if they did

      G                      Am
Cause skeletons ain't got nowhere to stick their money

  C                         G
nobody makes britches that size

      G                        C
and besides you're a ghost to most before they notice,

         D                     C
that you ever had a hair or a hide
[Verse 2]
Cadd9                    G
Saving everybody takes a man on a mission

       D                                 Em
with a swagger that can set the world at ease

Cadd9                        G
Some believe it's God's own hand on the trigger

        D                          Em
and the other dumping water in the streets

Cadd9                           G
Talking tough's easy when it's other people's evil

            D                              Em
and you're judging what they do or don't believe

   Cadd9                            G
It seems to me you'd have to have a hole in your own

           D                          Em
to point a finger at somebody else's sheet
[Chorus]
G                      Am
Baby, every bone in my body's gone to jumping

             C                       G
like they're gonna come through my skin

              G                             C
If they could get along without the rest of me,

                           D      C
it wouldn't matter if they did

      G                      Am
Cause skeletons ain't got nowhere to stick their money

  C                         G
nobody makes britches that size

      G                        C
and besides you're a ghost to most before they notice,

         D                     C
that you ever had a hair or a hide
[Bridge]
Am                 Bm
  I don't know how good it does a man,

           Em
to keep on telling him how good it is he's free

F                  C
  Free to wash his ghost down the drain,

             G
and free for them to tell him there's no such a thing
[Chorus]
G                      Am
Baby, every bone in my body's gone to jumping

             C                       G
like they're gonna come through my skin

              G                             C
If they could get along without the rest of me,

                           D      C
it wouldn't matter if they did

G                      Am
Skeletons ain't got nowhere to stick their money

  C                         G
nobody makes britches that size

      G                        C
and besides you're a ghost to most before they notice,

         D                     C
that you ever had a hair or a hide
