Standard (EADGBE)

Oh lord is it what we really want?

 I fear the bones inside your body

I feel them grow.

Oh lord there's a terror in the dark

 I fear there's nothing in our love

I feel it grow.

 In your limbs and arms and bones

 I know that we're strong

 Thinking "What's the harm?"

There's a fire in my chest

 It will extinguish when you're dead

 It's you I love to hold

 Before the bones they slowly grow.

Oh lord is it what we really want?

 I fear the bones inside your body

I feel them grow.

Oh lord there's a terror in the dark

 I fear there's nothing in our love

I feel it grow.

 In your limbs and arms and bones

 I know that we're strong

 Thinking "What's the harm?"

 And I heard you'll grow old

 Your muscles turn to bones

 Trapped in a pretty pose

 And in your family home

 I dreamt of our love alone

 And singing to just one

 It's you I love to hold

 Before the bones crush your throat.
