Skeletons

Intro 
F#m(maj7) D7 (x4) 

F#m(maj7)                    D7 
You're losing count of every skeleton inside your closet 
F#m(maj7)                     D7 
You're carving contracts into keratin to fill your pockets 
F#m(maj7)                   D7 
Extract the marrow and sell bones back to their sources 
        F#m(maj7)                      D7 
Deprive them of all support and resell it for doubled prices 


[Verso 1]
 
F#m(maj7)               D7      F#m(maj7) 
Let your employees work 25/8, 366 
                         D7 
Lobby our morals and get your enemies all committed 
F#m(maj7)                  D7 
You own the market, you control every statistic 
Bm            C# 
Yet you never fall 
 


[Refrão]
 
Dmaj7     C#           F#m         A 
Down goes another one, head on the ground 
Bm           C#            F#m        G#   A   Dmaj7 
Let's start anew and do it right this time a - round 
      C#          F#m         A 
Goes another one, hole in his head 
Bm         C#            F#m 
Down goes another but we know he's not dead 
 


[Pós-Refrão]
 
F#m                       Bm           D 
They own the politicians, they own the votes 
F#m                              D                C# 
The only truth they've ever told is what they say goes 
 


[Verso 2]
 
F#m                         Bm         D 
They've been the authors for so many years 
F#m                            D                C# 
They sell the napkins that you use to wipe your tears 
F#m       C#/G#            A             C# 
2 million dead every year, they've never cared for our peers 
F#m         G#              D  C#   D  C#    F#m C# D C# 
If they can kill us, why do we stop at their ears?

When the lights go down, and you walk backstage 
         Dmaj7 
Does the mask stay on? Do you hide your face? 
     Bm7 
Does anybody really know you? 
    C# 
Was anybody ever supposed to? 
     F#m7 
Like I do, I know who you are 
         Dmaj7 
You're a manufactured superstar 
     Bm6 
Your glory serves a purpose to 
    C# 
The ones who used to prey on you 
        F#m 
Now they may think you're useful now 
        Dmaj7 
But know you wear a borrowed crown 
  Bm7 
I bet you think you're special 
   C# 
To be their chosen vessel 
    F#m 
The billions they've all kept held down 
       Dmaj7 
Deserve the chance to shut them out 
  B7sus4 
I don't do this for vengeance 
    C# 
I'm doing this to send a message 
N.C. 
...fuck 
        F#m7                       Ebdim     Dmaj7 
In your cowardice, you hid away, refusing to face the threat 
F#m7                        Dmaj7             C# 
And when they offered you money, you knew you had to say yes 
F#m7                            Ebdim             Dmaj7 
The glass is broken, you showed off, and turned a blind eye 
F#m7                       Dmaj7   C#  Bm     A 
And now you're rolling em' back, a posthumous punchline 
F#m7                   Ebdim            Dmaj7 
Don't wanna see you on a stage, I wanna see you in the ground 
F#m7                   Dmaj7           C#             Dmaj7 
You wanna swim in your money, I wanna see you fucking drown 
Dmaj7 
What within us remains as beating and writhing 
C# 
Every dollar brings it closer to dying

Down goes another one, three-thousand to go 
Bm              C#                   F#m 
Tear down the house, melt down their crowns

They're bleeding gold

Goes another one, sunk 'neath their wealth

Down goes another, you did this to yourself
