Skeleton Song Tab

by Kate Nash


                          
Skeleton you are my friend
            
But you are made of bone   A F#m E
                                  
And you have got no flesh and blood
                       
Running through you to help protect the bone  A F#m E
                               
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

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
(Repeat as first verse)
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

(repeat chorus as before)
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
            
And 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
        
Fibula and tibula
                   
And ribs and cages, too
                
In fact, while I'm here
                       
I'll smash the whole of you

Yuh-Uh-Aye

Yuh-Uh-Aye

Yuh-Huh-Uh-Aye

Uh-Huh

Uh-Huh

Uh-Huh Uh-Huh

Ah--Ah

A-Ah A-Ah
A-Ah A-Ah

Ahh

(Same as chorus)
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
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
And that is all I know
And that is all I, that is all I know
And that is all I know, know
