    C                Am              G
Oh go, far from this small town bar we know
      C                 Am                      G
Yeah go, frolic in the lights that brought you here
    C        Am G
So very long

     C                       Am
And hold, hold your lips so tightly
               G
That the shadows may go
          C
Cause I know, I know, I know I know
              Am   G  F
You can never be alone
                                  C
Cause it's just the bones you're made of

Chorus:
F
And you laugh like you've never been lonely
C
That's alright honey
 G 
That's alright with me
F
Oh you laugh like there's hope in the story
C
That's alright honey
 G 
That's alright with me
F                                           C
Oh you laugh like I'll be there to hold you always
 G    F
Always here
    C          G         F
I'm always here, always here

And go silent as death on the first day of the snow
Oh go leave these fires burning
A house of embers and coal
And covert, covert all those boys
that search for love
In your room
Cause lust is just a child's game
And you, oh you were always late to bloom

Chorus:
And you laugh like you've never been lonely
That's alright honey
That's alright with me
Oh you laugh like there's hope in the story
That's alright honey
That's alright with me
Oh you laugh like I'll be there to hold you always
Always here
Always honey, always here

And you love like you've always been lonely
That's alright honey
That's alright with me
Oh you love him with all of your body
That's alright honey
That's alright with me
Oh you love him like he'll be there for always
Always honey yeah, always near
Always honey, always near
Always honey, always near

Oh go far from this small town bar we know
Oh go, leave me with this bird and this song
Out here in the cold
Cause it's just the bones you're made of
