Intro 
G     Dm C   Em D   G C   G   C   G 
F   C  D  Em  F   C 

verse 1 
           G                 F     C 
These tiny bones, I lay them on my life 
Em       D       C       G 
They are you and you and you 
                        F      C 
Arranged to be the skeleton of love 
        G         
I sit inside them at attention 
       C                   G          D 
Like a dog waiting for its owner to return 


Bridge 
          G           Dm                    C 
A garbage truck could flatten them into the road 
     G          D7            G 
Or a wind could scatter them apart 


verse 2 
                             F     C 
These tiny bones, I lay them on my life 
Em       D       C       G 
They are you and you and you 
                           F    C 
As fragile as the remnants of a bird 
            D      C 
Without the guts 
            D 
Without the word 


Bridge 
     Em   F        C                         G     C 
With rain into the gutter, they could flush away 
                        G           C   F  C 
And there, everything I love, would go 


verse 3 
            G                  F        C 
These pearl bones, I wish they could be safe 
   D       C     G   C   G 
So few, so few 
F                    C    D         Em  F 
Hung together with a thin string or something 
            C 
A family of bones
