Pirate Bones
Intro F Dm Em
Verse 1
DmWhat if I squeeze myself into any shape and I still don't fit?Em
DmWhat if I bend myself so much that I break and I can't mend it?
GWhat if I burn so bright that the fire goes out and I can't stay Emlit?
What's the point iFn it?
DmI could get good at crying crocodile tears just to get Emalong
DmI could carry on telling you wanna hear 'til my voice is goneEm
GBut if I finally get to the place that I think is home and I don't beEmlong
What's the poiFnt in it? Where's the benefit? When I'm gaining all but I'm losing it
Chorus
It's not worDmth having if it's too much to hold
You can dig so dEm7eep that you're left with a hole
DmThirsty in a desert with a bag full of gold Em7
DmDon't wanna end up like pirate bones
Em7What I thought was precious was just a pile o' stones
DmI might have the treasure but I'd be lying alone Em7
Just a pile of pirate bones Dm
If I foEm7rfeit my soul it ain't worth having Dm
If it's soEm7mething I stole it ain't worth having
Verse 2
DmWhat if I stake everything I am on a dream and it's counterfeit? Em
DmIf I reach the end that justifies the means could I live with iEmt?
And if it's true tGhat having too much of any good thing could only make me siEmck
What's the point iFn it? Where's the benefit? When I'm gaining all but I'm losing it.
Oh, oh
Chorus
Verse 3
DmIt's not worth that much to me if losing out Am/Cis what it means
GTo swim in shallow victory
FIs empty, empty
DmIt's just not worth the price it's only Am/Ca fools paradise
G F Em7
~E7
If it's draining every drop of life 'til I'm dry like pirate bones
Chorus
