Pirate Bones Intro C Em Bm Verse 1 Em Bm What if I squeeze myself into any shape and I still don't fit? Em What if I bend myself so much that I break and I can't mend it? D Bm What if I burn so bright that the fire goes out and I can't stay lit? C What's the point in it? Em Bm I could get good at crying crocodile tears just to get along Em Bm I could carry on telling you wanna hear 'til my voice is gone D Bm But if I finally get to the place that I think is home and I don't belong C What's the point in it? Where's the benefit? When I'm gaining all but I'm losing it [ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/n/natasha-bedingfield/317158.html ] Chorus Em It's not worth having if it's too much to hold Bm7 You can dig so deep that you're left with a hole Em Bm7 Thirsty in a desert with a bag full of gold Em Don't wanna end up like pirate bones Bm7 What I thought was precious was just a pile o' stones Em Bm7 I might have the treasure but I'd be lying alone Em Just a pile of pirate bones Bm7 Em If I forfeit my soul it ain't worth having Bm7 If it's something I stole it ain't worth having Verse 2 Em Bm What if I stake everything I am on a dream and it's counterfeit? Em Bm If I reach the end that justifies the means could I live with it? D Bm And if it's true that having too much of any good thing could only make me sick C What's the point in it? Where's the benefit? When I'm gaining all but I'm losing it. Oh, oh Chorus Verse 3 Am Em/G It's not worth that much to me if losing out is what it means D To swim in shallow victory C Is empty, empty Am Em/G It's just not worth the price it's only a fools paradise D C Bm7 ~B7 If it's draining every drop of life 'til I'm dry like pirate bones Chorus |
