Cage the Elephant - Skin And Bones

      Am F Dm F
[Verse 1]
  Am                               F
Close my eyes and drift into the silence
                 Dm
Barely see the ultraviolet
                           F
Slipped and fell into the deep end
     Am                               F
Oh, the sidewalk shimmer just like diamonds
                          Dm
All the empty words were flying
                                  F
Well, the heart was low, but I never was alone

I never was alone


[Chorus]
Am          C      Dm       F
I've been running for so long
                     Dm       F
All that's left is skin and bones
   Dm                 F
Close my eyes, fight to carry on
   Am          C      Dm       F
Sometimes it makes no sense at all
        Dm              F
If I stumble, will I fall?
       Dm               F
If I fall, I'll tuck and roll
         Dm
Close my eyes and let the love-light guide me home
       Dm
Let the love-light guide me home


[Verse 2]
     Am                       F
One step fades and falls into another
                       Dm
I'm not getting any further
            F
Left you feeling like an alien
  Am                                   F
All the shining sidewalks, they were lying
                         Dm
Lost myself while I was hiding
                       F
And the heart was low, but I never was alone
       F
I never was alone

[Chorus]

Am          C      Dm       F
I've been running for so long
                     Dm       F
All that's left is skin and bones
   Dm                 F
Close my eyes, fight to carry on
   Am          C      Dm       F
Sometimes it makes no sense at all
        Dm              F
If I stumble, will I fall?
       Dm               F
If I fall, I'll tuck and roll
         Dm
Close my eyes and let the love-light guide me home
       Dm
Let the love-light guide me home


Am F Dm F
[Bridge]
    Dm                    F
Hearts are empty almost all the time
    Dm                     F
Blind devising ways to lead the blind
     Dm                       F
And it seems as if there's no end in sight
         Dm                         F
I don't wanna be there when it all goes down
         Dm                       F
But if I gotta be there, don't let me hit the ground
       F
Can I hit the ground?


[Chorus]
Am          C      Dm       F
I've been running for so long
                     Dm       F
All that's left is skin and bones
   Dm                 F
Close my eyes, fight to carry on
   Am          C      Dm       F
Sometimes it makes no sense at all
        Dm              F
If I stumble, will I fall?
       Dm               F
If I fall, I'll tuck and roll
         Dm
Close my eyes and let the love-light guide me home
       Dm
Let the love-light guide me home
