           C#                     D
We took a back road, we’re gonna look at the stars
          Bm               C#
We took a back road in my car
            F#m               D
Down to the ocean, it’s only water and sand
           G#                C#
And in the ocean, we’ll hold hands
                    C#
But I don’t really like you
      D                        Bm
Apologetically dressed in the best,
                    C#
but on a heartbeat glide
           F#m
Without an answer,
              D
the thunder speaks from the sky
            G#               C# D
And on the cold, wet dirt I cry
            C#   Bm   A  G# F#m E
And on the cold, wet dirt I cry

Chorus:
E                A
Don’t you wanna come with me?
                 Bm      F#m E    D
Don’t you wanna feel my bones on your bones?
           E      E7
It’s only natural

A cinematic vision ensued
Like the holiest dream
There's someone calling
An angel whispers my name
But the message relayed is the same:
"Wait till tomorrow, you'll be fine."
But it's gone to the dogs in my mind
I always hear them when the dead of night
Comes calling to save me from this fight
But they can never wrong this right

Chorus:
Don't you wanna come with me?
Don't you wanna feel my bones
On your bones?
It's only natural
Don’t you wanna swim with me?
Don’t you wanna feel my skin
On your skin?
It's only natural

F#m                       C# 
(I never had a lover) I never had a lover
E                      B  
(I never had soul) I never had soul
A                              C#m
(never had a good time) And I never had a good time
D                   E            E7
(never got bold) I never got bold

Chorus:
Don't you wanna come with me?
Don't you wanna feel my bones
On your bones?
It's only natural
Don't you wanna swim with me?
Don't you wanna feel my skin
On your skin?
It's only natural
Don't you wanna come with me?
Don't you wanna feel my bones
On your bones?
It’s only natural
Come and take a swim with me.
Don't you wanna feel my skin
On your skin?
It’s only natural
