Intro G A D G(x2)
verse 1
G A
400 Bones, crumpled in bed
D G
I'm the only one who knows that you're still breathing
G A
Beneath the blanket of another French death
D G
This afternoon is one I will be keeping
G A
Where skin is painted by a brush from the sun
D G
Pull the sheets up to your neck so she can't see us
G
And let the clocks do all the worrying for once
D G
We're passing out inside the sleeping mausoleum
Bridge
Bm A D G (x2)
Bm A
This is my safe house in the hurricane
D G
Here is where my love lays, 200 treasured bones
Bm A
This is my warmth behind the Cold War
D G
This is what I'm living for, forever coming home
Bm A
Here's to the room I can rest in
D G
The door I'vee always opened, never to be closed
bM A
You as my horizon line, the star I navigate by
D G
Takes me back to hold 200 perfect bones
Outro
Bm A D G (x2)
G A D G
G A
On absent days I will return to this place
D G
And play a silent colour film within my head
G A
In which the pillow leaves a code upon your face
D G
And all at once it all makes perfect sense
G A
400 bones, crumpled in bed
D G
I'm the only one who knows that you're still breathing
