Fm                                   C
Please don't be alarmed I've got the heart of a child
     Abm                            C
It's actually one of many that I've slowly compiled
Fm                              C
You have looks to die for and a brain to match
  Abm                      C
I promise to remove it all without a scratch

Fm                        C
Lest we forget about your ravishing eyes
    Abm                         C
I’d love to see them both immaculately excised
    Fm                       C
Now whatcha got hiding under all that meat
  Abm                         C
I don’t believe that beauty’s only skin deep

C      Bbm   Abm       C
We all amass ghosts of our past
C    Bbm       Abm   C
I display mine under glass
   C          Bbm
Perfection is fleeting
   Abm       C
Commence the bleeding
    C     Bbm     C
And now I must propose
   C
We dig dem bones

  Fm
I bid you welcome, my guest
  C
I have something to get off my chest
Abm                          C
I am a fan of some degree of curiosities
Fm
Now now don't you fret
  C
I have a spot for all of my guests
Abm
On the mantel or the bookcase
C
I can always make some space
Fm
All the beauty of our days
  C
A shame it's got to wither away
Abm
You'll live on rest assured
       C
And forever be preserved

     Fm                   C
From here on in you shall never age
   Abm                        C
Formaldehyde will keep those effects at bay
  Fm                            C
A piece of my collection always on display
   Abm                     C
An object to admire like a lost Monet

C    Bbm  Abm         C    C
Everybody shuns their skeleton
    Bbm      Abm      C
And hides it from all the fun
C     Bbm
Elbow grease and soap
Abm    C         C
Will remove your pulp
          Bbm           C
And it’ll polish like a stone
C
When I scrub dem bones

     G5
Well is there something wrong with me
Db5
I prefer my friends deceased
Ab5                  G5    F5  Ab5 G5
Disassembled and put on display
A5
Deep inside these hallowed halls
     Eb5
Your bones will decorate the walls
Bb5              A5  G5   Bb5 A5
Safe from inevitable decay
       G5
You’ll soon agree that life is better
Db5
Without all that pesky leather
Ab5               G5        F5  Ab5 G5
Skin is overrated can’t you see
A5
Would you prefer to rot and mold
Eb5
In a grave that’s damp and cold
   Bb5                A5   G5  Bb5 A5
Or join my esteemed menagerie

Fm
Or you could choose to just grow old
Db
Journey into the unknown
C
Spend your last breath all alone
Bbm
Death waiting to lash out
     Fm
Will you become history
Db
Or a sight for all to see
    C
You must believe when I decree
     Bbm
It’s what’s inside that counts
