Am    Em    F    G
Am    Em    F    G
Am
 
 
[Verse 1]
             Em
I learned to live without
    F                       G
The light of the day in the black of the night
Am            Em
Hellbent on a one-way down
       F                         G
Just a match by the gas that was ready to strike
     Am                Em
´Til you walked into a burning house
    F                         G
The red on your lips like the red in my eyes
Am          Em
You made no bones about it
F                      G
Guess you were made to walk through fire
 
 
[Chorus]
                         Am
You weren’t afraid of my darkness
                     F
Even when it was the hardest
    C
You held me through every living hell
    G
And loved me when I couldn’t love myself
          Am
And every time you broke
              F
Through every door I slammed closed
              C
You turned my poison into medicine
         G
When you danced with
                   Am
You danced with my skeletons
 
 
[Verse 2]
Am        Em
I started digging up
      F                        G
Every secret I thought I would take to my grave
Am                  Em
These boots carried miles of mud
    F                    G             Am
You saw all the ugly and never looked away
Em                  F
Never thought you’d stay but
 
 
[Chorus]
G                        Am
You weren’t afraid of my darkness
                     F
Even when it was the hardest
    C
You held me through every living hell
    G
And loved me when I couldn’t love myself
          Am
And every time you broke
              F
Through every door I slammed closed
              C
You turned my poison into medicine
         G
When you danced with
                   Am
You danced with my skeletons
 
 
[Post-Chorus]
Am     F
                      C       G
You danced with my skeletons
 
 
[Bridge]
Dm
And the ghost never comes back
F
I ain't afraid cuz I know that
 
 
[Chorus]
                         Am
You weren’t afraid of my darkness
                     F
Even when it was the hardest
    C
You held me through every living hell
    G
And loved me when I couldn’t love myself
          Am
And every time you broke
              F
Through every door I slammed closed
              C
You turned my poison into medicine
         G
When you danced with
                   Am
You danced with my skeletons
 
 
[Outro]
Am     F                        C       G
          You danced with my skeletons
Am     F              C       G
You danced with my skeletons
                   Am
You danced with my skeletons
