Intro 2x:          ()

VERSE ONE:

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

CHORUS: /Weird Chord Progression Change                   
And I should have known
                   
That it wouldn't be long
                                               
Until you, you've got me standing in an awkward position
                                         
With unwanted attention and a need for explanation
                                
And it's not that I'm letting go of you
                             
But I don't know what to do

VERSE TWO: /Same Chord Progression As The Beginning                          
Skeleton we are so close
     
But you have got no body
                                     

So why do you insist on wearing clothes
                           
Skeleton when we were young
        
It was easy
      
Even though the other kids
          
They would tease me
                      
But I was only seven I had you
                   
But now I'm twenty-two

CHORUS: /Weird Chord Progression                                     
And now it's different, when I take you out
                                           
And you, you've got me standing in an awkward position
                                         
With unwanted attention and a need for explanation
                                 
And it's not that I'm letting go of you
                             
But I don't know what to do

BRIDGE: (In Kate Nash's live version all she is playing is on A. Which is a G on capo 
This part is mostly drums... So just play a G through this whole part.)

'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 !

VERSE THREE: Slower
                                       
  
But Skeleton, you are my friend
                                      
And I could never bring your life to an end
                                       
  
Yes Skeleton you are, you are my friend
                                    
And I will be there for you until the end

CHORUS: Back To Original Tempo
                              
And even though, when I take you out
                                                  
You've got me, you've got me standing in an awkward position
                                         
With unwanted attention and a need for explanation

I could, I could never let you go
                         
And that is all I know
      DCG
And that is all I know
                               
And that is all I, that is all I know
                         
And that is all I know, know
