C   G     E
I have no head

C   G                 Em
The forest floor is my bed

   C           G       Em
The leaves that fall I use as a blanket

       C              G     Em
For my bones are as cold as lead

     C         G        C        A
The weight of all those hungry mouths

                 C    G    Em
The things they said

C G Em [Verse 2]

C  G     Em
I have no eyes

    C     G       Em
The forest floor I despise

    C      G      Em
But I will not be gone in the morning

       C          G        Em
I will lie, still here I will lie

[Pre-Chorus]

   C                  C
You said to meet at the edge of the trees

     C        A
On a Monday afternoon

             Am
I waited 'til moon

[Chorus 1]

Am               F
Lay on your back breathe it in

    G                  Am
The sickly sweet of my rotting skin

    Am      Em7      C
But you followed the road

            C    G   Am
And it was just our dust

C     G    E
Just our dust

C G Em C G Em [Verse 3]

    C      G       Em
The trace of your steps

      C        G              Em
Leads right to where I took my breath

 C            G         Em
For the last time, it lingers forever

      C        G        Em
As a ghost of where we last met

    C          G      C         A
The stars were not so brave to show

               Em        C
What they don't know

Em C [Chorus 2]

Am               F
Lay on your back, breathe it in

    G                Am
The sickly sweet of my rotting skin

    Am      Em7      C
But you followed the road

           C     G    Am
And it was just our dust,

C    G    Am
just our dust

[Chorus 3]

Am               F
Lay on your back, breathe it in

     G               Am
The sickly sweet of my rotting skin

    Am      Em7      C
But you followed the road

            C    G   Am
And it was just our dust,

C     G  Am
just our dust

[Pre Chorus]

Am                    F
Standing there in the frosty air

   G                 Am
I knew our time had come

    Am       Em7      C
And you followed the road

           Am     C   G    Am   C   G
And it was just our dust, just our dust

Am    C    E
Just our dust

C G Em C G Em [Verse 4] (Strum Once)

C
I feel no pain

    C
The blood is frozen in my veins

    C
And although you were here in the morning

C             G            Em
My skin was cold before you came

C
My skin was cold before you came
