Intro 2x: G   Em   D   (G)

VERSE ONE:
G
Skeleton you are my friend
Em           D       G   Em   D
But you are made of bone
     G
And you have got no flesh and blood
Em                      D                G   Em   D
Running through you to help protect the bone
G                             Em     D
Skeleton we have been friends for years
     G
And you have seen me through some trials
     Em           D        G
And tribulations and some tears
     Em               D    G  Em  D
But everybody thinks I'm weird

CHORUS: /Weird Chord Progression Change\
                   G
And I should have known
         Em      D    C
That it wouldn't be long
             Em            D             C         G
Until you, you've got me standing in an awkward position
       Em         D            C             G
With unwanted attention and a need for explanation
        Em            D          C  G
And it's not that I'm letting go of you
       Em                  D  C  G
But I don't know what to do

VERSE TWO: /Same Chord Progression As The Beginning\
G                       Em   D
Skeleton we are so close
     G
But you have got no body
       Em         D                 G  Em  
G
So why do you insist on wearing clothes
G                           Em
Skeleton when we were young
        D
It was easy
      G
Even though the other kids
     Em     D
They would tease me
    G                  Em
But I was only seven I had you
         D          G
But now I'm twenty-two

CHORUS: /Weird Chord Progression\
              G                 Em   D   C
And now it's different, when I take you out
       Em               D            C         G
And you, you've got me standing in an awkward position
       Em        D             C             G
With unwanted attention and a need for explanation
        Em            D          C   G
And it's not that I'm letting go of you
Em                         D  C  G
But I don't know what to do

BRIDGE: (In Kate Nash's live version all she is playing is on A. Which is a G on capo 
This part is mostly drums... So just play a G through this whole part.)

'Cause sometimes at night,

I dream of the most terrible things

I take a hammer and I creep out of bed

And I raise it high

And I smash your head

Fibular and tubular

And ribs and cages, too

In fact, while I'm here

I'll smash the whole of you

Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah............ (etc)

Smaaaaaaaaaaash !

VERSE THREE: Slower
     G                         Em   D   G   
  D
But Skeleton, you are my friend
    G                            Em      D
And I could never bring your life to an end
G                           Em     D    G   
  D
Yes Skeleton you are, you are my friend
    G                          Em      D
And I will be there for you until the end

CHORUS: Back To Original Tempo
           G             Em   D   C
And even though, when I take you out
             Em               D             C         G
You've got me, you've got me standing in an awkward position
       Em        D             C             G
With unwanted attention and a need for explanation

I could, I could never let you go
     Em              D   C   G
And that is all I know
     Em DCG
And that is all I know
     Em              D         C   G
And that is all I, that is all I know
     Em               D  C   G
And that is all I know, know
