Tom : A
A E
There was a time when I was feeling incomplete
F#m7 Dsus2
Lost in the shadow of the person I could be
A E
Chasing perfection in every direction, so focused on the end
F#m7 Dsus2
I didn't see the journey and take in every step
[Pre-Chorus]
F#m7
Every long road
Dsus2
Song that I half wrote
A E
Brought me to where I am
[Chorus]
A
Every root turns into branches
E
Every question leads to answers
F#m7/C#
Even if the seed ain’t fully grown
Dsus2
There's beauty in the bones
A
Just a drop can start a riptide
E
Just a word can change a whole life
F#m7/C#
Even if this story ain't been wrote
[Próxima Parte]
Dsus2
There’s beauty in the bones
[Post-Chorus]
F#m7
In the bones, in the bones
Dsus2
In the bones, in the bones
A
In the bones, in the bones
E
In the bones
[Verse 2]
F#m7 Dsus2
There was a light inside the darkness I could sense
A E
And when I found it, that's when beauty all began
F#m7 Dsus2
Calm in the chaos, I'm not afraid of learning things my heart don't know
A E
'Cause every new beginning starts with hope
[Pre-Chorus]
F#m7
Every long road
Dsus2
Song that I half wrote
A E
Brought me to where I am
[Chorus]
A
Every root turns into branches
[Próxima Parte]
Dsus2
There’s beauty in the bones
[Post-Chorus 2x]
F#m7
In the bones, in the bones
Dsus2
In the bones, in the bones
A
In the bones, in the bones
E
In the bones, there’s beauty in the bones
[Bridge]
F#m7
Like a half-drawn masterpiece
Dsus2
Like a half-played symphony
A
There’s a beauty in imperfect
E
In the journey and where it all leads to
[Chorus]
[Outro]
A
Beauty in the bones
E
Beauty in the bones
F#m7/C#
Beauty in the bones
Dsus2 E
There's beauty in the bones
