              Dm
This hidden thing
                A#
That you don't see
                 F
They call them skeletons
           C
Don't be scared of them
                     Dm
'Cause you're still you
               A#
And I'm still me
            F
It's all irrelevant
             C
We all got skeletons

Dm
You could tell me everything
And then we could forget it
A#
Baby, you could show me
all your demons in a minute
F
It could be a battle
                           C
When the words come back around, around

Dm
We don't ever got to tell a lie
And then relive it
A#
I could show you demons
Only you could take a minute
  F
Show me that you'll be there
                              C C#dim7
When the walls come crashing down

Chorus:
             A#
When you're holding back the words
                Gm
'Cause you're afraid of being hurt
          Dm
Just let love in
          C
Just let love in
          A#
Oh, we're only skin and bone
         Gm
We don't have to be alone
         Dm
Just let love in
          C     A# Gm
Just let love in
            Dm
I just let love in
          C     C#dim7
Just let love in

Sink or swim
What will it be?
We all got skeletons
Set them free
But now I'm over it
And I'm under you
So tell me everything
Take a trip to the moon

Chorus:
Oh, when you're holding back the words
'Cause you're afraid of being hurt
Just let love in
Just let love in
Oh, we're only skin and bone
We don't have to be alone
Just let love in
Just let love in
I just let love in
Just let love in

You could tell me everything
And then we could forget it
Baby, you could show me all your demons in a minute
It could be a battle
When the words come back around, around
We don't ever got to tell a lie
And then relive it
I could show you demons
Only you could take a minute
Tell me that you'll be there
When the walls come crashing down, down

Chorus:
Oh, when you're holding back the words
'cause you're afraid of being hurt
Just let love in
Just let love in
Oh, we're only skin and bone
We don't have to be alone
Just let love in
Just let love in
I just let love in
Just let love in
I just let love in
Just let love in
