verse 1:
G Cadd9 Em7 D Cadd9
There's a skeleton, in every body's closet
D G Cadd9 D
I can think of one or two in my own room
G Cadd9 Em7 D Cadd9
But I would like to intro - duce them both to you
D G Cadd9
Shake their bony hands and so dispel the gloom
D G
Cause your so kind
Cadd9
I know you would not mind
Em7 G Em7 - Cadd9
You'd send away the ghosts that haunt me now
D G
And the things I fear
Cadd9
Just wouldn't seem so near
Em7 G
And when I stroll out late at night
Cadd9 G Cadd9 / / / | / / / D |
There would be nothin' rattlin' at my heels

G Cadd9 Em7 D Cadd9
There are nights when all my aching bones won't let me sleep
D G Cadd9 D
And demons come to plague me as I lie in bed

But I know if you were sleeping there be - side me then
D G Cadd9
That you would fend them off and they would let me rest

There will come a time I fear when all my days are done
