[Intro]
Am Em F G
Am Em F G
Am
[Verse 1]
EmI learned to live without
F GThe light of the day in the black of the night
Am EmHellbent on a one-way down
F GJust a match by the gas that was ready to strike
Am Em´Til you walked into a burning house
F GThe red on your lips like the red in my eyes
Am EmYou made no bones about it
F GGuess you were made to walk through fire
[Chorus]
AmYou weren’t afraid of my darkness
FEven when it was the hardest
CYou held me through every living hell
GAnd loved me when I couldn’t love myself
AmAnd every time you broke
FThrough every door I slammed closed
CYou turned my poison into medicine
GWhen you danced with
AmYou danced with my skeletons
[Verse 2]
Am EmI started digging up
F GEvery secret I thought I would take to my grave
Am EmThese boots carried miles of mud
F G AmYou saw all the ugly and never looked away
Em FNever thought you’d stay but
[Chorus]
G AmYou weren’t afraid of my darkness
FEven when it was the hardest
CYou held me through every living hell
GAnd loved me when I couldn’t love myself
AmAnd every time you broke
FThrough every door I slammed closed
CYou turned my poison into medicine
GWhen you danced with
AmYou danced with my skeletons
[Post-Chorus]
Am F
C GYou danced with my skeletons
[Bridge]
DmAnd the ghost never comes back
FI ain't afraid cuz I know that
[Chorus]
AmYou weren’t afraid of my darkness
FEven when it was the hardest
CYou held me through every living hell
GAnd loved me when I couldn’t love myself
AmAnd every time you broke
FThrough every door I slammed closed
CYou turned my poison into medicine
GWhen you danced with
AmYou danced with my skeletons
[Outro]
Am F C G You danced with my skeletons
