Intro:

F  C  G  Am
F  C  G

Verse 1:
         F           C      G       Am
When I'm lying in my bed, I like to pretend
        F            C            G
That my body is just bones on the beach
         F                 C
It's the first time I feel rested
         G                Am
Since my mother's womb, I slept in
        F                C              G
My last home between the stones and the sea
F        C             G         Am
Some overzealous anthropology professor
F            G           C
With all his students in tow
      F                    C
Carry spades and books for studying
G          Am
Stumbling, discover me
F                          G
I implore them to leave me alone

Chorus:
      F       C      G       Am
Say, "Give me one millennium more there"
F     C      G      Am
Maybe I will belong more there
F        C        G           Am
Than any place in which I was living
F        G            C
When I'm bones on the beach

Verse 2:
         F        C         G           Am
With the end long past nigh one eternal sigh
        F              C       G
I've no breath that is left to release
        F           C             G            Am
And the loudness of mind has been gone since I died
      F                          G
Was I meant in this life to find peace
       F                     G
Before I became bones on the beach?
F      C             G                  Am
I hear footsteps and bones, they cannot look left
      F            G        C
But I register her stepping nearby
F           C
Her face is peaceful
      G                Am
She's looked up life's evil
    F                              G
And considered it next to infinite skies
F                        G
She doesn't ask for more time

Chorus:
F       C      G       Am
Give me one millennium more there
F     C      G      Am
Maybe I will belong more there
F        C        G           Am
Than any place in which I was living
F        G            C
When I'm bones on the beach
F        G            C
When I'm bones on the beach

Instrumental Bridge:

Outro:
       F             C           G          Am
What I long for's nonexistent in any belief system
       F     C            G                Am           F
All I, all I want is some rest, there's no sentience in death
         C               G      Am              F
Just the darkness at the worst, temporality and permanence
C            G             Am    F     C
I don't know what's on the other side
G           Am                F      C      G
But I don't think it's what I had in mind
Am       F         C            G    Am
I hope I find some rest in this life
