Intro -x2-: A Gbm E

Verse 1:
A
Skeleton you are my friend
Gbm           E       A   Gbm   E
But you are made of bone
     A
And you have got no flesh and blood
Gbm                      E                A   Gbm   E
Running through you to help protect the bone
A                             Gbm     E
Skeleton we have been friends for years
     A
And you have seen me through some trials
     Gbm           E        A
And tribulations and some tears
     Gbm               E    A  Gbm  E
But everybody thinks I'm weird

Chorus:
                   A
And I should have known

That it wouldn't be long
             Gbm            E             D         A
Until you, you've got me standing in an awkward position
       Gbm         E            D             A
With unwanted attention and a need for exption
        Gbm            E          D  A
And it's not that I'm letting go of you
       Gbm                  E  D  A
But I don't know what to do

Verse 2:
A                       Gbm   E
Skeleton we are so close
     A
But you have got no body
       Gbm         E                 A  Gbm
A
So why do you insist on wearing clothes
A                           Gbm
Skeleton when we were young
        E
It was easy
      A
Even though the other kids
     Gbm     E
They would tease me
    A                  Gbm
But I was only seven I had you
         E          A
But now I'm twenty-two

Chorus:
              A                 Gbm   E   D
And now it's different, when I take you out
       Gbm               E            D         A
And you, you've got me standing in an awkward position
       Gbm        E             D             A
With unwanted attention and a need for exption
        Gbm            E          D   A
And it's not that I'm letting go of you
Gbm                         E  D  A
But I don't know what to do

Bridge:
'Cause sometimes at night,
I dream of the most terrible things
I take a hammer and I creep out of bed
And I raise it high
And I smash your head
Fibular and tubular
And ribs and cages, too
In fact, while I'm here
I'll smash the whole of you
Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah............ -etc-
Smaaaaaaaaaaash !

But Skeleton, you are my friend

And I could never bring your life to an end
A                           Gbm     E    A
  E
Yes Skeleton you are, you are my friend
    A                          Gbm      E
And I will be there for you until the end

Chorus:
           A             Gbm   E   D
And even though, when I take you out
             Gbm               E             D         A
You've got me, you've got me standing in an awkward position
       Gbm        E             D             A
With unwanted attention and a need for exption
I could, I could never let you go
     Gbm              E   D   A
And that is all I know
     Gbm 
And that is all I know
     Gbm              E         D   A
And that is all I, that is all I know
     Gbm               E  D   A
And that is all I know, know
