D          Fm            Bm           G
I greeted death like an old familiar friend
    D            Fm         Bm    G
And we haven’t spoken in awhile
    D            Fm              Bm           G
But I knew it wouldn’t be long until we meet again
          D              Fm              Bm    G
How could I forget that lonesome, boney smile?


D         Fm             Bm                 G
Skeleton man, won’t you take my stone-cold hand?
D                   Fm                  Bm                   G
No need to stress, no need to worry, now that my dreams are dead
D           Fm                Bm                G
Phantom in black, won’t you take the long way back?
D                  Fm                 Bm                      G
No need to stress, no need to worry, no need to change your plans, just take it 
D   Fm   Bm   G
slow
          D  Fm  Bm  G
Skeleton ghost


D        Fm         Bm       G
Me and Death, we go way back
          D               Fm              Bm                G
We first met when I was younger, with my favorite childhood pet
D                    Fm             Bm                G
Then when I bеcame a man, Death and I got acquainted fast
D                           Fm              
Thеn through the years, the blood, sweat, and tears
       Bm                  G
I’m afraid he’s my only friend
    D           Fm        Bm                G
But I cheated Death at a high-stakes poker bet
     D                    Fm                 Bm      G
And our friendship hasn’t been the same way since


D         Fm            Bm                  G
Skeleton man, won’t you take my stone-cold hand?
D                  Fm                  Bm                    G
No need to stress, no need to worry, now that my dreams are dead
D            Fm     Bm                       G
Phantom in black I know there’s no easy way back
         D                  Fm                 Bm         G
There’s no need to stress, no need to worry, no need to change your plans, just 
          D  Fm  Bm  G
take it slow
           D  Fm  Bm  G
