F C Bb
[Verse 1]
F
Clothes
C Bb F
That cover your skin
C Bb F
The grace in the chaos
C Bb F
That was hidden within
C Bb F
The grains of salt
C Bb F
For every lie I told
C Bb F
That was ripped from the stitches
C Bb F F/F#
And torn from the folds
[Chorus]
Gm
Whilst you were sleeping
F
I sat in the dark
C
With all my offenses
Dm D
The creases on my heart
Gm
And all these bad feelings
F
From my teenage boy brain
Gm
And for all of my offences
Dm D Gm Am F
I will count the grains of salt
Gm Am F
Salt
[Verse 2]
F
If walls could whisper
C Bb F
They would whsiper to me
C Bb F
"We'll keep you sheltered, my dear
C Bb F
But we can't set you free"
C Bb F
So dance with your demons
C Bb F
In Television light
C Bb F
If you must tell her
C Bb F F#
Then you better tell her tonight
[Chorus]
Gm
And whilst you were sleeping
F
I sat in the dark
C
With all of my offences
Dm D
The creases on my heart
Gm
And all these bad feelings
F
From my teenage boy brain
C
And for all of my offences
Dm D Bb
I will count the grains of salt
[Post-Chorus]
C F F/F#
For all the lies I told
Gm
Count the grains of salt
C Dm D
For all the lies I told
Gm
Count the grains of salt
C Dm D
For all the lies I told
Gm
Count the grains of salt
C Dm D
For all the lies I told
Gm F Bb
Count the grains of salt
[Outro]
F

C Bb F
That covers your skin
