Skeletons

	  		

A                                    Em6                   D5            
I won't forget when I couldn't go to bed with the lights off 
      A                            Em6           D5 
When I heard that voice call me in for the night 
   A                            Em6            D5 
I remember when love was just a word and not a fight 
      A                       Em6       D5 
All I had to worry about were broken bones and being left alone

A                                  
Way back then there were monsters in my closet 
D5                                       Bm 
And now there's just skeletons hiding in there 
The clock is ticking away 
                     D5             E 
The leaves are still falling every day 
    A                           D5 
The sunburn on my shoulders kept warm back then 
        Bm                     D5        E 
Like the heat from the blacktop again and again 


(strum once) 
D2        A2          E2             D2 
I remember when smoke didn't fill my lungs 
D2      A2         E2  
When my hands were lost and so young 


D2                 A2          E2           D2 
It seemed like the houses were touching the sky 
     D2           A2           E2  
And I thought this smile on my face would never lie 


(palm mute) 
Oh, the summer we were staring at the sun 
The summer we were staring at the 
Oh, the summer we were staring at the sun 


A                                  
Way back then there were monsters in my closet 
D5                                       Bm 
And now there's just skeletons hiding in there 
The clock is ticking away 
                     D5             E 
The leaves are still falling every day 
    A                           D5 
The sunburn on my shoulders kept warm back then 
        Bm                     D5        E 
Like the heat from the blacktop again and again
