Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

There's a skeleton, in everybody's closet

I can think of one or two in my own room

But I would like to introduce them both to you

Shake their bony hands and so dispell the gloom

Cause your so kind

I know you would not mind

You'd send away the ghosts that haunt me now

And the things I fear

Just wouldn't seem so near

And when I stroll out late at night

There would be nothin' rattlin' at my heels

There are night when all my aching bones won't let me sleep

And demons come to plague me as I lie in bed

But I know if you were sleeping there beside me then

That you would fend them off and they would let me rest

Cause your so kind

I know you would not mind

You'd send away the ghosts that haunt me now

And the things I fear

Just wouldn't seem so near

And when I stroll out late at night

There would be nothin' rattlin' at my heels

There are nights

When the wind comes howling through my old place

I have dreams

And I wake up with the sweat pouring down my face

And I wait.........

Till the morning comes

There will come a time I fear when all my days are done

And they will come collect my corpse and bury me

And then I hope that you'll come over to the Other Side

Join me in our new life, keep me company

Cause your so kind

I know you would not mind

You'd send away the ghosts that haunt me now

And the things I fear

Just wouldn't seem so near

And when I stroll out late at night

There would be nothin' rattlin' at my heels
