Flesh And Bone

Dm Dm Dm Dm


[Verse 1]

Dm                                
Today would have been the perfect 
       A          Dm
day to go to the beach
I'm on the sofa trying to get over a
  A
 hate speech
We do not love ourselves the way the
  Dm
 prophets teach

[Verse 2]

Dm                                
Even Jesus kept his feelings like 
   A           Dm
a lamp in the dark
Until he flipped the tables over up 
        A
in the market
Oh Mother, there are lamps but there
 Dm
 are ... sparks


[Chorus]

A              Dm    C
But I need to know
         Dm
I don’t need to be shown
           Dm          C
I've gotta see it for myself
            Dm
I've gotta learn it on my own
          Dm   C        Dm
I need to know if I am flesh & bone
           A                  
And am I still growing or full 
  Dm
grown?
       A                     Dm   
Am I still growing, or full grown?
   C  Dm

Dm   Bb   A
Oh, ooh, yeah

[Verse 3]

Dm                                
She’s coming up for the rising 
       A          Dm
like the dark before dawn
She has come to a place and she 
                A
feels like her love’s gone
                             Dm
She has come of an age and a line 
should be drawn

[Verse 4]
Dm                                
He’s walking around in a tank top 
            A          Dm
getting caught in a bluff
Little boys do not cry, don’t you 
                   A
think that you’re hot stuff?
Its real tough when your daddy don’t
  Dm
 call you enough, oh


[Chorus]
A              Dm    C
But I need to know
         Dm
I don’t need to be shown
           Dm          C
I've gotta see it for myself
            Dm
I've gotta learn it on my own
          Dm   C        Dm
I need to know if I am flesh & bone
           A                  
And am I still growing or full 
  Dm
grown?
       A                     Dm   
Am I still growing, or full grown?
   C  Dm
  Hey!
Dm   Bb   A    Dm  C Dm
Oh, ooh, yeah

Oh, ooh

[Bridge]

Dm                   C           
Striking matches to watch ‘em 
         Bb
burn in my childhood bedrooms
Dm                   C           
Little time, little water and 
           Bb
light, little seed, every bud blooms
Dm                              
And I've been striking matches to 
   C                    Bb
watch ‘em burn in my childhood 
bedrooms, ooh
Dm                   C           
Little time, little water and 
            Bb
light, little seed, every bud 
blooms, oh


[Verse 5]

Dm                                
There are days I need to tell 
        A      Dm
myself I’m doing alright
My inner child and my ego get caught
          A
 up in a knife fight
I get nervous, and then I will get 
Dm
out of sight

[Verse 6]

Dm                                
'Cause everybody I came up with 
                   Dm A/C#   A
says that I’m going too slow, woah
          Dm  A/C#                
But it’s cool though, 'cause I can
                            A
 hear my people when I check out the
 show
             A
I feel real low


[Chorus] (Octave up)

A                 Dm    C
'Cause I need to know
         Dm
I don’t need to be shown
           Dm          C
I've gotta see it for myself
            Dm
I've gotta learn it on my own
          Dm   C        Dm
I need to know if I am flesh & bone
           A                  
And am I still growing or full 
  Dm
grown?

[Chorus]

A                 Dm    C
'Cause I need to know
            Dm
Oh, I don’t need to be shown
           Dm          C
I've gotta see it for myself
            Dm
I've gotta learn it on my own
          Dm   C        Dm
I need to know if I am flesh & bone
           A                  
And am I still growing or full 
  Dm
grown?
            A                 
Honey am I still growing, like 
           Dm    C  Dm
a-a-a-ah- HEY!

Dm  Bb    A   Dm
Oh, ooh, yeah
