[Am]Mes [C]amis, we are [G]restless [Dm]things
[Am]Little [C]seaweed are [G][Dm]swaddling
[Am]And you call upon the [C]dusk
Of the [G]musk of the [Dm]squid
[Am]Shot full of [C]ink, until you [G]sink
Into your [Dm]crib
[F]Show me the [Am]house
Upon the [C]hill
Where you were [Am]living
[F]Fireplace was [Am]stoked
The cupboard [C]stocked
Full of [Am]provision
[F]And the grandfather [Am]clock
Upon the [C]wall
Told us the [Am]time
[F]And then came a [Am]sound
Love had to[C] drown
Love, were [Am]you dying?
[C]Oh was the fire [G]moved [C]away
[Am]Fire moved [G]away [F]son?
[C]Why whould [G]you [C]say
[Am]I was the [Dm]last [F]one?
F for a few measures
[Am]Scrub your [C]knee, [G]there's only [Dm]skin
[Am]Makes a [C]sound of [G][Dm]violins
And [Am]you call upon the [C]dusk
Of the [G]musk of the [Dm]squid
[Am]Shot full of [C]ink until you[G] sink
Into your [Dm]crib
[F]Show me the [Am]house
Upon the[C] hill
Where you were [Am]living
[F]Fireplace was [Am]stoked
The cupboard [C]stocked
Full of [Am]provisions
[F]And the grandfather [Am]clock
Upon the [C]wall
Told us the [Am]time
[F]And then came a[Am] sound
Love had to [C]count
On you [Am]dying
[C]Oh was the fire [G]moved [C]away?
[Am]Fire, it moves [G]away, [F]son
[C]Oh, why [G]would you [C]say
[Am]I was the [Dm]last [F]one?
F for a few measures
[Am]All my [C]bones they are [G]gone, gone, [Dm]gone
[Am]All my [C]bones they are [G]gone, gone, [Dm]gone
[Am]All my [C]bones they are [G]gone, gone, [Dm]gone
