Your Bones Chords & Lyrics Artist: Of Monsters and Men

Capo: 3rd fret

[Verses]
 
        Bm
In the spring we made a boat
        Bm
Out of feathers, out of bones.
        G           D
We set fire to our homes,
        G               D
Walking barefoot in the snow.
        Bm
Distant rhythm of the drum
       Bm
As we drifted towards the storm.
     G              D
Baby lion lost his teeth,
             G              D
Now they're swimming in the sea.
 
 
Troubled spirits on my chest
Where they laid to rest.
The birds all left my tall friend
As your body hit the sand.
 
Million stars up in the sky
Formed a tigers eye
That looked down on my face,
Out of time and out of place.
 
 
CHORUS
 
     Em
So hold on,
G/B            Em
Hold on to what we are,
G/B            Bm
Hold on to your heart.
 
 
VERSE
 
Awaken by the sound
Of a screaming owl.
Chasing leafs in the wind,
Going where we've never been.
 
Said goodbye to you my friend,
As the fire spread.
All that's left are your bones
That will soon sink like stones
 
 
CHORUS
 
  Em
So hold on,
G/B              Em
Hold on to what we are,
G/B              Bm
Hold on to your heart.
 
 
INSTRUMENTAL
 
Bm  Bm  G   D
 
 
CHORUS
 
  Em
So hold on,
G/B             Bm
Hold on to your heart.
