Intro G A D G(x2) 

verse 1 

G          A 
400 Bones, crumpled in bed 
        D                                    G 
I'm the only one who knows that you're still breathing 
G                              A 
Beneath the blanket of another French death 
     D                          G 
This afternoon is one I will be keeping 
G                          A 
Where skin is painted by a brush from the sun 
         D                                   G 
Pull the sheets up to your neck so she can't see us 
G 
And let the clocks do all the worrying for once 
              D                       G 
We're passing out inside the sleeping mausoleum 


Bridge 

Bm A D G (x2) 

Bm                           A 
This is my safe house in the hurricane 
                 D                        G 
Here is where my love lays, 200 treasured bones 
Bm                           A 
This is my warmth behind the Cold War 
                 D                          G 
This is what I'm living for, forever coming home 
Bm                       A 
Here's to the room I can rest in 
                      D                   G 
The door I'vee always opened, never to be closed 
bM                      A 
You as my horizon line, the star I navigate by 
        D                         G 
Takes me back to hold 200 perfect bones 


Outro 

Bm A D G (x2) 
G A D G 

G                     A 
On absent days I will return to this place 
           D                            G 
And play a silent colour film within my head 
G                            A 
In which the pillow leaves a code upon your face 
D                                    G 
And all at once it all makes perfect sense 
G          A 
400 bones, crumpled in bed 
        D                                    G 
I'm the only one who knows that you're still breathing
