G
Skeleton you are my friend

Em           D       G   Em   D
But you are made of bone

     G
And you have got no flesh and blood

Em                      D                G   Em   D
Running through you to help protect the bone

G                             Em     D
Skeleton we have been friends for years

     G
And you have seen me through some trials

     Em           D        G
And tribulations and some tears

     Em               D    G  Em  D
But everybody thinks I'm weird
[Chorus]
                   G
And I should have known

         Em      D    C
That it wouldn't be long

             Em            D             C         G
Until you, you've got me standing in an awkward position

       Em         D            C             G
With unwanted attention and a need for explanation

        Em            D          C  G
And it's not that I'm letting go of you

       Em                  D  C  G
But I don't know what to do
[Verse 2]
G                       Em   D
Skeleton we are so close

     G
But you have got no body
Em D G Em
G
So why do you insist on wearing clothes

G                           Em
Skeleton when we were young

        D
It was easy

      G
Even though the other kids

     Em     D
They would tease me

    G                  Em
But I was only seven I had you

         D          G
But now I'm twenty-two
[Chorus]
              G                 Em   D   C
And now it's different, when I take you out

       Em               D            C         G
And you, you've got me standing in an awkward position

       Em        D             C             G
With unwanted attention and a need for explanation

        Em            D          C   G
And it's not that I'm letting go of you

Em                         D  C  G
But I don't know what to do
[Bridge] 'Cause sometimes at night, I dream of the most terrible things I take a hammer and I creep out of bed And I raise it high And I smash your head Fibular and tubular And ribs and cages, too In fact, while I'm here I'll smash the whole of you Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah............ (etc) Smaaaaaaaaaaash ! [Verse 3] G Em D G
  D
But Skeleton, you are my friend

    G                            Em      D
And I could never bring your life to an end
G Em D G
  D
Yes Skeleton you are, you are my friend

    G                          Em      D
And I will be there for you until the end
[Chorus]
           G             Em   D   C
And even though, when I take you out

             Em               D             C         G
You've got me, you've got me standing in an awkward position

       Em        D             C             G
With unwanted attention and a need for explanation
I could, I could never let you go
     Em              D   C   G
And that is all I know

     Em DCG
And that is all I know

     Em              D         C   G
And that is all I, that is all I know

     Em               D  C   G
And that is all I know, know
