[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
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

[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

[Outro]
Em  F#m  G  C (x7)
