A                          F#m
Skeleton you are my friend
            E
But you are made of bone   A F#m E
A                                  F#m
And you have got no flesh and blood
                       E
Running through you to help protect the bone  A F#m E
A                            F#m   E
Skeleton we have been friends for years
    A
And you have seen me through some trials
    F#m   E                A
And tribulations and some tears   
    F#m              E   A
But everybody thinks I'm weird


Chorus
A
And I should have known
        E
That it wouldn't be long
           F#m                          D
Until you, you've got me standing in an awkward position
       A                       E
With unwanted attention and a need for explanation
         F#m                     D
And it's not that I'm letting go of you
      A                    E F#m D  
But I don't know what to do
Verse
(Repeat as first verse)
Skeleton we are so close
But you have got no body
So why do you insist on wearing clothes
Skeleton when we were young
It was easy
Even though the other kids
They would tease me
But I was only seven I had you
But now I'm twenty-two

(repeat chorus as before)
And now it's different, when I take you out
And you, you've got me standing in an awkward position
With unwanted attention and a need for explanation
And it's not that I'm letting go of you
But I don't know what to do
    F#m D     A  E
And sometimes at night,
  F#m    D          A        E
I dream of the most terrible things
  F#m    D            A            E
I take a hammer and I creep out of bed
      F#m      D     
And I raise it high
      A          E
And I smash your head
F#m        D
Fibula and tibula
    A               E
And ribs and cages, too
   F#m             D
In fact, while I'm here
     A                  E
I'll smash the whole of you
F#m
Yuh-Uh-Aye
F#m
Yuh-Uh-Aye
D
Yuh-Huh-Uh-Aye
A
Uh-Huh
A
Uh-Huh
E
Uh-Huh Uh-Huh
F#m
Ah-A-Ah
D
A-Ah A-Ah
A-Ah A-Ah
E
Ahh

(Same as chorus)
But Skeleton, you are my friend
And I could never bring your life to an end
Yes Skeleton you are, you are my friend
And I will be there for you until the end
And even though, when I take you out
You've got me, you've got me standing in an awkward position
With unwanted attention and a need for explanation
I could, I could never let you go
And that is all I know
And that is all I know
And that is all I, that is all I know
And that is all I know, know
