Standard Tuning

Intro: E, G#m, F#, E MajorE - x2

Verse:
E MajorE         G# minorG#m
I came here for sanctuary
 F#F#                      E MajorE
Away from the winds and the sounds of the city
E MajorE             G# minorG#m
I came here to get some peace
   F#F#                 E MajorE
Way down deep where the shadows are heavy

E MajorE             G# minorG#m
I can't help but think of you
  F#F#                     E MajorE
In these four walls my thoughts seem to wander
E MajorE          G# minorG#m
To some distant century
   F#F#                E MajorE
When everyone we know is six feet under

Pre-Chorus:
   E MajorE            G# minorG#m
When all of our friends are dead and just a memory
  E MajorE             G# minorG#m
And we're side by side it's always been just you and me
  E MajorE    G# minorG#m
For all to see

Chorus:
E MajorE          G# minorG#m  F#F#     E MajorE
When our lives are over and all that remains
  E MajorE        G# minorG#m    F#F#       E MajorE
Are our skulls and bones let's take it to the grave
  E MajorE           G# minorG#m
And hold me in your arms, hold me in your arms
F#F#       E MajorE
I'll be buried here with you
  E MajorE      G# minorG#m     F#F#     E MajorE
And I'll hold in these hands all that remains

Verse:
I don't want to rest in peace
I'd rather be the ghost that annoys you
I hope you can make me laugh
Six feet down when we're bored of each other

A augmentedA match is our only light
It's day of the dead and I'm Indiana Jones here
These coins sit upon our eyes
Pool our funds and pay the boat together

Pre-Chorus:
   E MajorE            G# minorG#m
When all of our friends are dead and just a memory
  E MajorE             G# minorG#m
And we're side by side it's always been just you and me
  E MajorE    G# minorG#m
For all to see

Chorus:
E MajorE          G# minorG#m  F#F#     E MajorE
When our lives are over and all that remains
  E MajorE        G# minorG#m    F#F#       E MajorE
Are our skulls and bones let's take it to the grave
  E MajorE           G# minorG#m
And hold me in your arms, hold me in your arms
F#F#       E MajorE
I'll be buried here with you
  E MajorE      G# minorG#m     F#F#     E MajorE
And I'll hold in these hands all that remains

Bridge:
  E MajorE          G# minorG#m
And now it's all before you
F#F#          E MajorE
Hold me in your arms, hold me in your arms

Chorus:
E MajorE          G# minorG#m  F#F#     E MajorE
When our lives are over and all that remains
  E MajorE        G# minorG#m    F#F#       E MajorE
Are our skulls and bones let's take it to the grave
  E MajorE           G# minorG#m
And hold me in your arms, hold me in your arms
F#F#       E MajorE
I'll be buried here with you
  E MajorE      G# minorG#m     F#F#     E MajorE
And I'll hold in these hands all that remains
