Standard (EADGBE)

Oh lord is it what we really want?

I fear the bones inside your body

I feel them grow.

Oh lord there's a terror in the dark

I fear there's nothing in our love

I feel it grow.

In your limbs and arms and bones

I know that we're strong

Thinking "What's the harm?"

There's a fire in my chest

It will extinguish when you're dead

It's you I love to hold

Before the bones they slowly grow.

Oh lord is it what we really want?

I fear the bones inside your body

I feel them grow.

Oh lord there's a terror in the dark

I fear there's nothing in our love

I feel it grow.

In your limbs and arms and bones

I know that we're strong

Thinking "What's the harm?"

And I heard you'll grow old

Your muscles turn to bones

Trapped in a pretty pose

And in your family home

I dreamt of our love alone

And singing to just one

It's you I love to hold

Before the bones crush your throat.
