Bag Of Bones chords by Lord Huron

• Difficulty: Beginner 👶

Key: E

Intro:
E G C E x2

Verse 1:
E
This is how my tale begins
      G
I was outside looking in again
C
Nothing like rain to wash you clean
    E
So I slept in the cold, and left unseen

I've never seen a sky that pale at night
G

  Should've known it wasn't right
C
  Wandered out there on my own
E
  Just a rattling bag of bones

[Interlude]
E G C E

Chorus:
Bm      A          C                   G
  I can see you're doing just fine without me
Bm             A            C
  What did you say when you left
Bm    A            C                G
  I believed you'd never get by without me
Bm            A            C
  How wrong I was in the end

Verse 2:
E
Thus, my tale of woe continues
       G
It was me they got but it should have been you
C
  You were the only one I trusted
    E
But you left town and I got busted

Let me see you one last time
G
You can kiss my worthless ass goodbye
C
  I doubt that it's been nice to know me
E
  Bon voyage, you'd best be going

Chorus:
Bm    A            C             G
  I agree, there's something not right about me
Bm              A              C
  I thought the darkness would pass
Bm    A            G                C
  I believed you'd never get far without me
Bm          A           C     D
  Life is a joke if you laugh

Verse 3:
E
  This is how my story ends
    G
I'm stoned and broke and drunk again
C
  No one laughs in nothing's face
          E
I'm just floating on through my aimless days
            E
Been a long road, but I'll be all right
G
  I'm livin' on the countryside

[Interlude]
C
  I’ll be out there on my own
E
  Just a rattling bag of bones
C
  I’ll be out there on my own
E
  Just a rattling bag of bones
C
  I’ll be out there on my own
E
  Just a rattling bag of bones

Verse 4:
E
  People die and planets turn
    G
And empires rise and fall and burn
C
  Nothing lasts and no one stays
         E
You just spiral off into outer space

I've never seen a sky so full of stars
         G
Makes me wonder where you are

Outro:
C
  I’ll be out here on my own
E
  Just a rattling bag of bones
C
  I’ll be out there on my own
E
  Just a rattling bag of bones
C
  I’ll be out there on my own
E
  Just a rattling bag of bones

E G C E x2
