Family Of Bones

G     Dm C   Em D   G C   G   C   G
F   C  D  Em  F   C

           G                 F     C
These tiny bones, I lay them on my life
Em       D       C       G
They are you and you and you
                        F      C
Arranged to be the skeleton of love
        G
I sit inside them at attention
       C                   G          D
Like a dog waiting for its owner to return

          G           Dm                    C
A garbage truck could flatten them into the road
     G          D7            G
Or a wind could scatter them apart

                             F     C
These tiny bones, I lay them on my life
Em       D       C       G
They are you and you and you
                           F    C
As fragile as the remnants of a bird
            D      C
Without the guts
            D
Without the word

     Em   F        C                         G     C
With rain into the gutter, they could flush away
                        G           C   F  C
And there, everything I love, would go

            G                  F        C
These pearl bones, I wish they could be safe
   D       C     G   C   G
So few, so few
F                    C    D         Em  F
Hung together with a thin string or something
            C
A family of bones
