Pirate Bones
Intro   C majorC  E minorEm  B minorBm

Verse 1
E minorEm                              B minorBm
What if I squeeze myself into any shape and I still don't fit?
E minorEm
What if I bend myself so much that I break and I can't mend it?
D MajorD                                B minorBm
What if I burn so bright that the fire goes out and I can't stay lit?
         C majorC
What's the point in it?
E minorEm                           B minorBm
I could get good at crying crocodile tears just to get along
E minorEm                              B minorBm
I could carry on telling you wanna hear 'til my voice is gone
D MajorD                                  B minorBm
But if I finally get to the place that I think is home and I don't belong
       C majorC
What's the point in it? Where's the benefit? When I'm gaining all but I'm losing it

Chorus
      E minorEm
It's not worth having if it's too much to hold
        Bm7Bm7
You can dig so deep that you're left with a hole
E minorEm                               Bm7Bm7
Thirsty in a desert with a bag full of gold
E minorEm
Don't wanna end up like pirate bones
Bm7Bm7
What I thought was precious was just a pile o' stones
E minorEm                                   Bm7Bm7
I might have the treasure but I'd be lying alone
                     E minorEm
Just a pile of pirate bones
    Bm7Bm7                         E minorEm
If I forfeit my soul it ain't worth having
     Bm7Bm7
If it's something I stole it ain't worth having



Verse 2
E minorEm                                B minorBm
What if I stake everything I am on a dream and it's counterfeit?
E minorEm                               B minorBm
If I reach the end that justifies the means could I live with it?
         D MajorD                             B minorBm
And if it's true that having too much of any good thing could only make me sick
         C majorC
What's the point in it? Where's the benefit? When I'm gaining all but I'm losing it.
Oh, oh

Chorus

Verse 3
A minorAm                      Em/GEm/G
It's not worth that much to me if losing out is what it means
D MajorD
To swim in shallow victory
C majorC
Is empty, empty
A minorAm                   Em/GEm/G
It's just not worth the price it's only a fools paradise
     D MajorD                    C majorC           Bm7Bm7
    ~B7
If it's draining every drop of life 'til I'm dry like pirate bones
