Chords

[Intro] E G C E x2 [Verse 1]
E
This is how my tale begins

      G
I was outside looking in again

C
Nothing like rain to wash you clean

    E
So I slept in the cold, and left unseen
I've never seen a sky that pale at night
G
  Should've known it wasn't right

C
  Wandered out there on my own

E
  Just a rattling bag of bones
[Interlude] E G C E [Chorus]
Bm      A          C                   G
  I can see you're doing just fine without me

Bm             A            C
  What did you say when you left

Bm    A            C                G
  I believed you'd never get by without me

Bm            A            C
  How wrong I was in the end
[Verse 2]
E
Thus, my tale of woe continues

       G
It was me they got but it should have been you

C
  You were the only one I trusted

    E
But you left town and I got busted
Let me see you one last time
G
You can kiss my worthless ass goodbye

C
  I doubt that it's been nice to know me

E
  Bon voyage, you'd best be going
[Chorus]
Bm    A            C             G
  I agree, there's something not right about me

Bm              A              C
  I thought the darkness would pass

Bm    A            G                C
  I believed you'd never get far without me

Bm          A           C     D
  Life is a joke if you laugh
[Verse 3]
E
  This is how my story ends

    G
I'm stoned and broke and drunk again

C
  No one laughs in nothing's face

          E
I'm just floating on through my aimless days

            E
Been a long road, but I'll be all right

G
  I'm livin' on the countryside
[Interlude]
C
  I'll be out there on my own

E
  Just a rattling bag of bones

C
  I'll be out there on my own

E
  Just a rattling bag of bones

C
  I'll be out there on my own

E
  Just a rattling bag of bones
[Verse 4]
E
  People die and planets turn

    G
And empires rise and fall and burn

C
  Nothing lasts and no one stays

         E
You just spiral off into outer space
I've never seen a sky so full of stars
         G
Makes me wonder where you are
[Outro]
C
  I'll be out here on my own

E
  Just a rattling bag of bones

C
  I'll be out there on my own

E
  Just a rattling bag of bones

C
  I'll be out there on my own

E
  Just a rattling bag of bones
E G C E x2
