Cm
Tell me how to feel
                A#
Tell me how to lay this down
G#
I'm losing what's real
            Gm
Buried underneath it now
                Cm
Everything you touch I love
                A#
Even though it leaves me numb
                G#
Tell me how to feel
                     A#
Tell me how to go without

Chorus:
 G#                               D#
You're taking me down, taking me down
To skin and bones
A#                                Fm
You're taking me down, taking me down
To skin and bones
G#
No heartbeat left in me
             D#
There is no air here left to breathe
       A#
All I know
Is when your love goes
Fm
I'm just skin and bones

Eyes are closed tight
Still I only see your face
There used to be light
But now it's all empty space
Everything you touched I loved
Even though it left me numb
Eyes are closed tight
Still I only see your face

Chorus

Cm                                D#
You're taking me down, taking me down
G#                                Fm
You're taking me down, taking me down

Cm
You're taking me down
D#
You're taking me
A#                     Fm
Taking me down, down, down

Chorus:
You're taking me down, taking me down
To skin and bones
You're taking me down, taking me down
To skin and bones
No heartbeat left in me
There is no air here left to breathe
And all I know
Is when your love goes
I'm just skin and bones

(Skin and bones)
(Skin and bones)
Just skin and bones
(Skin and bones)
(Skin and bones)
Just skin and bones
