Family and Friends - Rust And Bone

      Capo 1

Am  C  F  C  G

[VERSE 1]
Am                    C
Leave me where you found me
        F                     C                   G
With the arms of the darkness surrounding, around me 
Am               C            F
Throw dirt in my eyes and try convincing me 
C          G
My love is blind 

Am                F             C              G
I lost you in the rubble like a diamond to the rough 
Am                    F                C                 G
Or a face beneath the stubble when the times are tending tough 
           Am C F G             Am C F G
I’m giving up,        on giving up 

[VERSE 2]

Am             C      F                    C         G
Here we lay to rest a younger man than the one I now am 
Am                C                 F             C          G
I now am half the one he was when I smothered him beneath my skin 

Am              F                  C                G
Curse my fickle heart, my stubborn ways, my foolish pride 
Am                        F                                C             G
Wondering if ever there a better way to live or least some better way to die 
             Am        C      G          F
Today is the first day of the rest of my life 
             Am        C      G          F
Today is the first day of the rest of my life 
                    Am C F C G
I’m learning how to die 

[VERSE 3]

         Am              C                 F        C              G
I set my sails for safer waters, I left my love for higher ground, don’t look down 
     Am            C                         F
I am watching from above, you sinking like a stone 
      C          G
I let you drown, I let you drown 

Am                  F              C         G
Down on luck like a sinner feeling sorry for myself 
Am                   F                     C                 G
Preacher man says if I’ll be damned you're going straight to hell 
     Am             C   G    F
Your god don't love you anymore 
              Am       C  G   F
My god, don’t you love me anymore 

     Am      C       G          F
I am feeling I’m not where I am going 
     Am      C       G          F
I am feeling I’m not where I am going 
     Am      C       G          F
I am feeling I’m not where I am going 
   Am   C             G    F
Or what I am going to become 

[VERSE 4]

           Am            C                             F                   C              G
The air is static in the attic where the ghosts of our past live, they are rust and bone, rust and bone 
        Am                  C                       F                 C           G
I still think of you out of habit like some kind of madness, but I am letting go, I’m letting go 
          Am                  C                  F                    C           G
Of all my reasons for fear of failure, my demons beneath me screaming let me out, let me out 
        Am                 C                            F               C             G
But I’m buried beneath the covers with the ghosts of my lovers thinking never or now, never or now 

    Am              F                     C            G
I’m losing sleep, I lost you once, I wont lose you now again 
     Am                       F                        C                       G
I’ll scream and shout till my lungs give out, till the blood runs cold beneath the skin 

           Am  C  G  F
Forever my love 
           Am  C  G  F
Forever my love 
           Am  C  G  F
Forever my love 
           Am  C  G  F
Forever my friend
