• Difficulty: Beginner

Intro:

F C G Am
F C G

Verse 1:
     F      C   G    Am
When I'm lying in my bed, I like to pretend
    F      C      G
That my body is just bones on the beach
     F         C
It's the first time I feel rested
     G        Am
Since my mother's womb, I slept in
    F        C       G
My last home between the stones and the sea
F    C       G     Am
Some overzealous anthropology professor
F      G      C
With all his students in tow
   F          C
Carry spades and books for studying
G     Am
Stumbling, discover me
F             G
I implore them to leave me alone

Chorus:
   F    C   G    Am
Say, "Give me one millennium more there"
F   C   G   Am
Maybe I will belong more there
F    C    G      Am
Than any place in which I was living
F    G      C
When I'm bones on the beach

Verse 2:
     F    C     G      Am
With the end long past nigh one eternal sigh
    F       C    G
I've no breath that is left to release
    F      C       G      Am
And the loudness of mind has been gone since I died
   F             G
Was I meant in this life to find peace
    F           G
Before I became bones on the beach?
F   C       G         Am
I hear footsteps and bones, they cannot look left
   F      G    C
But I register her stepping nearby
F      C
Her face is peaceful
   G        Am
She's looked up life's evil
  F               G
And considered it next to infinite skies
F            G
She doesn't ask for more time

Chorus:
F    C   G    Am
Give me one millennium more there
F   C   G   Am
Maybe I will belong more there
F    C    G      Am
Than any place in which I was living
F    G      C
When I'm bones on the beach
F    G      C
When I'm bones on the beach

Instrumental Bridge:
F C G Am x2

Outro:
    F       C      G     Am
What I long for's nonexistent in any belief system
    F   C      G        Am      F
All I, all I want is some rest, there's no sentience in death
     C        G   Am       F
Just the darkness at the worst, temporality and permanence
C      G       Am  F   C
I don't know what's on the other side
G      Am        F   C   G
But I don't think it's what I had in mind
Am    F     C      G  Am
I hope I find some rest in this life
