Intro: C C7 F Fm C G C G Verse 1: C C7 F Fm To cut down on my silhouette, my favorite foods are smoke and hearts C C7 My leftover frets forget stiletto-self vendettas while my F Fm cracking backbone lacks but backs up my false starts Am G C G Am All nightmares start as dreams and I hear my subconscious screaming Dm Dm G G They say that beauty’s just skin deep, so naturally, please show me your Chorus: C E Bones, bones, bones. Let me see your bones F Fm Well I don’t wanna know if the feeling follows home C E Bones, bones, bones. Hell, we’re all alone F Fm If I come home, baby, will you show your bones? Interlude: C G Verse 2: C C7 F Fm Lumps in throats and petticoats, your baby teeth would pray for you C C7 F Fm a selfish book is always open, and some of the best liars only want the truth Am G |C G| Am All love starts as a scheme, so wake me up, I’m tired of sleeping Dm Dm G G They say that beauty’s just skin deep. So obviously please show me your Chorus: C E Bones, bones, bones. Let me see your bones F Fm Well I don’t wanna know if the feeling follows home C E Bones, bones, bones. Hell, we’re all alone F Fm If I come home, baby, will you show your bones?

This is so fun to play
I recommend playing E7 instead of E, it’s much easier to play and generally sounds better
Does anyone know/recommend the strumming pattern for this?
