Capo 2nd fret
Standard Tuning
Intro: E, G#m, F#, E - x2
Verse:
E G#m
I came here for sanctuary
F# E
Away from the winds and the sounds of the city
E G#m
I came here to get some peace
F# E
Way down deep where the shadows are heavy
E G#m
I can't help but think of you
F# E
In these four walls my thoughts seem to wander
E G#m
To some distant century
F# E
When everyone we know is six feet under
Pre-Chorus:
E G#m
When all of our friends are dead and just a memory
E G#m
And we're side by side it's always been just you and me
E G#m
For all to see
Chorus:
E G#m F# E
When our lives are over and all that remains
E G#m F# E
Are our skulls and bones let's take it to the grave
E G#m
And hold me in your arms, hold me in your arms
F# E
I'll be buried here with you
E G#m F# E
And I'll hold in these hands all that remains
Verse:
I don't want to rest in peace
I'd rather be the ghost that annoys you
I hope you can make me laugh
Six feet down when we're bored of each other
A match is our only light
It's day of the dead and I'm Indiana Jones here
These coins sit upon our eyes
Pool our funds and pay the boat together
Pre-Chorus:
E G#m
When all of our friends are dead and just a memory
E G#m
And we're side by side it's always been just you and me
E G#m
For all to see
Chorus:
E G#m F# E
When our lives are over and all that remains
E G#m F# E
Are our skulls and bones let's take it to the grave
E G#m
And hold me in your arms, hold me in your arms
F# E
I'll be buried here with you
E G#m F# E
And I'll hold in these hands all that remains
Bridge:
E G#m
And now it's all before you
F# E
Hold me in your arms, hold me in your arms
Chorus:
E G#m F# E
When our lives are over and all that remains
E G#m F# E
Are our skulls and bones let's take it to the grave
E G#m
And hold me in your arms, hold me in your arms
F# E
I'll be buried here with you
E G#m F# E
And I'll hold in these hands all that remains
