Bastille - Skulls

Am G F
i came here for sanctuary
Am G F
away from the winds and the sounds of the city
Am G F
i came here to get some peace
Am G F
way down deep where the shadows are heavy

Am G F
i can’t help but think of you
Am G F
in these four walls my thoughts seem to wander
Am G F
to some distant century
Am G F
when everyone we know is six feet under

F Am
when all of our friends are dead and just a memory
G F
and we’re side by side it’s always been just you and me
F
for all to see

F Am G F
when our lives are over and all that remains
F Am G F
are our skulls and bones let’s take it to the grave
F Am
and hold me in your arms , hold me in your arms
G F
i’ll be buried here with you
F Am G F
and i’ll hold in these hands all that remains

Am G F
i don’t want to rest in peace
Am G F
i’d rather be the ghost that annoys you
Am G F
i hope you can make me laugh
Am G F
six feet down when we’re bored of each other

Am G F
a match is our only light
Am G F
it’s day of the dead and i’m indiana jones here
Am G F
these coins sit upon our eyes
Am G F
pool our funds and pay the boat together

F Am
when all of our friends are dead and just a memory
G F
and we’re side by side it’s always been just you and me
F
for all to see

F Am G F
when our lives are over and all that remains
F Am G F
are our skulls and bones let’s take it to the grave
F Am
and hold me in your arms , hold me in your arms
G F
i’ll be buried here with you
F Am G F
and i’ll hold in these hands all that remains

F Am
and now it’s all before you
G F
hold me in your arms , hold me in your arms

F Am G F
when our lives are over and all that remains
F Am G F
are our skulls and bones let’s take it to the grave
F Am
and hold me in your arms , hold me in your arms
G F
i’ll be buried here with you
F Am G F
and i’ll hold in these hands all that remains
