Natasha Bedingfield – Pirate Bones (Ukulele)

Dm                                                            Em
What if I squeeze myself into any shape and I still don't fit?

Dm
What if I bend myself so much that I break and I can't mend it?

G                                                                Em
What if I burn so bright that the fire goes out and I can't stay lit?

                  F
What's the point in it?

Dm                                                     Em
I could get good at crying crocodile tears just to get along

Dm                                                           Em
I could carry on telling you wanna hear 'til my voice is gone

G                                                                    Em
But if I finally get to the place that I think is home and I don't belong

              F
What's the point in it?  Where's the benefit?  When I'm gaining all but I'm losing it

            Dm
It's not worth having if it's too much to hold

                Em7
You can dig so deep that you're left with a hole

Dm                                                             Em7
Thirsty in a desert with a bag full of gold

Dm
Don't wanna end up like pirate bones

Em7
What I thought was precious was just a pile o' stones

Dm                                                                      Em7
I might have the treasure but I'd be lying alone

                                          Dm
Just a pile of pirate bones

       Em7                                                 Dm
If I forfeit my soul it ain't worth having

          Em7
If it's something I stole it ain't worth having

Dm                                                                Em
What if I stake everything I am on a dream and it's counterfeit?

Dm                                                             Em
If I reach the end that justifies the means could I live with it?

                  G                                                          Em
And if it's true that having too much of any good thing could only make me sick

                  F
What's the point in it?  Where's the benefit? When I'm gaining all but I'm losing it. 

Dm                                           Am/C
It's not worth that much to me if losing out is what it means

G
To swim in shallow victory

F
Is empty, empty

Dm                                      Am/C
It's just not worth the price it's only a fools paradise

       ~E7
If it's draining every drop of life 'til I'm dry like pirate bones
