Capo 2nd fret
Standard Tuning

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


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

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

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


Chorus:
E                    G#m    F#          E
When our lives are over and all that remains
    E                G#m       F#             E
Are our skulls and bones let's take it to the grave
    E                     G#m
And hold me in your arms, hold me in your arms
F#             E
I'll be buried here with you
    E            G#m         F#          E
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 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                       G#m                  
When all of our friends are dead and just a memory
    E                         G#m
And we're side by side it's always been just you and me
   E       G#m
For all to see


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


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


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