Below are 2 versions of the song. First are the standard chords for the

Pre-Chorus
Chorus x2
For an easier way to play this, keep the capo 2 on and transpose the song
down 2 half steps so the E is now a D, then play everything in basic
acoustic chords in that position.
Here are the lead tabs. The whole song is built around this.

You can play this in multiple positions, but this is the easiest for my
fingers, and all the notes are accurate. Use your wammy bar to get those
drops at the end of each riff.

The second time through, James leaves out the 4th fret and just plays 8
of the 6th fret... but play it however you want.
Peel back our ribs again
And stand inside of our chest.
We just wanna' love you
We just wanna' love you
Peel back the veil of time
And let us see you with our naked eyes
We just wanna' love you

We want your blood to flow inside our body
We want your wind inside our lungs
We just wanna' love you
We just wanna' love you
Skeleton bones stand at the sound
Of eternity on the lips of the found
And gravestones roll
To the rhythm of the sound of you
Skeleton bones stand at the sound
Of eternity on the lips of the found
So separate those doors
And let the sun of resurrection in
Oh let us adore the
Son of Glory dressed in love
Open up your gates before him
Crown Him,
Stand Him up
We want your blood to flow inside our body
We want your wind inside our lungs
We just wanna' love you
We just wanna' love you
Skeleton bones stand at the sound
Of eternity on the lips of the found

And let the sun of resurrection in.
Oh let us adore the
Son of Glory dressed in love
Open up your gates before him
Crown Him, stand Him up
