All bleached and deathly white
         Am              F      E
I've got skeletons in my closet and

They're rattlin' tonight

Verse 2:
    Am             G           Am
The cheat bones connected to deceit bones
               G         Am
And thereby connected to lies
            G         Am
I-love-yous said indiscriminately
         F               E
make the sockets for the eyes
    Am         G                 Am

(Hup! Hup!  Hup! Hup! Hup! Hup! Hup! Hup!)
              G             F       E
There wont be sleep for the weary tonight
                          Am
Cause all those bones are mine
