 B              D#            G#m G#sus2
Come rest your bones next to me
     E              F#             B
And toss all your thoughts to the sea
              D#          G#m G#sus2
I'll pull up each of our anchors
    E          F#            B
So we can get lost, you and me

Chorus:
B           D#         G#m
My heart is buried in Venice
G#sus2    E            F#          B
Hidden beneath all my worries and doubts
             D#         G#m
My heart is buried in Venice
G#sus2       E          F#      B
Waiting for someone to take it home

Even when you try to hide it
A smile creeps out from your teeth
I never thought that I would have to say "I'm sorry"
For anyone but me

Chorus:
Now my heart is buried in Venice
Waiting for someone to take it home

E                 F#
Say, say what you mean
              B       D#               E
Tell me the truth or tell me you're through,
    D#
oh oh oh
 E                  F#
Don't leave me to breathe,
                    B
Don't leave me to bleed
 D#               E       D#      E Em B D# G#m E F#
For someone who chose to leave me be

    B        D#         G#m
My heart is buried in Venice
G#sus2       E          F#       B
Waiting for someone to take it home
