F# A#m I came here for sanctuary G# F# Away from the winds and the sounds of the city F# A#m I came here to get some peace G# F# Way down deep where the shadows are heavy I can't help but think of you In these four walls, my thoughts seem to wander To some distant century When everyone we know is six feet under F# A#m When all of our friends are dead and just a memory F# A#m And we're side by side it's always been just you and me F# A#m For all to see Chorus: F# A#m G# F# When our lives are over and all that remains F# A#m G# F# Are our skulls and bones let's take it to the grave F# A#m And hold me in your arms, hold me in your arms G# F# I'll be buried here with you F# A#m G# F# And I'll hold in these hands all that remains I don't want to rest in peace I'd rather be the ghost that annoys you (I-I) I hope you can make me laugh Six feet down when we're bored of each other (I,I) A match is our only light It's day of the dead and I'm Indiana Jones here (I-I) These coins sit upon our eyes Pool our funds; we'll pay the boat together [Pre-Chorus] When all of our friends are dead and just a memory We'll lie side by side; it's always been just you and me For a-a-all to see [Chorus] When our lives are over And all that remains Are our skulls and bones Let's take it to the grave And hold me in your arms, hold me in your arms I'll be buried here with you And I'll hold in these hands All that remains F# A#m And now it's all before you G# F# Hold me in your arms, hold me in your arms F# A#m And now it's all before you G# F# Hold me in your arms, hold me in your arms Chorus: When our lives are over And all that remains Are our skulls and bones Let's take it to the grave And hold me in your arms, hold me in your arms I'll be buried here with you And I'll hold in these hands All that remains | TransposeReset Font sizeReset Ukulele Chord DiagramsA#m  F#  G#  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each ukulele chord used in the song.
