Key:
| G | % | % | % | [Verse 1]
G You've grown up so much since I saw you all those days ago
G Still got that look about you, still got those things that we know
Am C G Red gilded place in the woods and the words that were said
Am C G Black twisted branches that hid all the things that we did [Verse 2]
G You threaded wasps on to string and you gave them to me
G You touched the edges of their wings and the insides of me
Am C G All of the years make a picture that's faded and bright
Am C G All of the years make us different and faded and bright [Chorus]
D Am Bring back the bodies and lay them out for me
C G Smooth down their crisp clear white wings in the morning
Continues after the ad
D Am Bring back the yellow and black of the bodies
C Em F#m G C Lay them out slowly and string them up gently for me
Em F#m G C [Verse 3]
G Small piles of sticks built up like temples to time in the sun
G Beds of green leaves laid out where fear and O negative burn
Am C G Strange to see you in a suit but your shoes are still red
Am C G Strange to see you at the front after all that you said [Bridge]
Em F#m G C Your face changed a long time ago
Em F#m G C But you're the same underneath this
Em F#m G C Sleet that whirls around like a
Em F#m G C Line between worlds and there are
Em F#m G C Birds in here singing lulla-
Em F#m G C bies to me about bodies and
Em F#m G C You and me and all that we've
Em F#m G C Em Seen and you and all that we've seen
| G | % | % | [Chorus]
D Am Bring back the bodies and open them for me
C G Lift out their shimmering hearts in the morning
D Am Bring back the yellow and black of the ocean
C G Let me out slowly and sing to me coldly
D Am Bring back the yellow and black of the bodies
C Em F#m G C Let me in slowly and string me up sensitively [Other] Em F#m G C (x7)
