VERSE
Dm Dm/C
All I am is the bones you made for me
Dm/B Dm/Bb
So garishly clean, white as the horses, that carry me away
Dm Dm/C
And all my demons, you said, come and go with a days
Dm/B Dm/Bb
A mind's will to play, I grow old in my way. Just like you do.

Oh there ain't no diamonds in the boredom
Em G C9 C9
Oh there ain't no darkness that I fear

Oh there ain't no way to say I love you more, no

So be clear, just to be clear
Em G C9 C9
So be clear, be clear.
