A |
A Bm |
I lit a thin green candle |
D A |
to make you jealous of me |
A Bm |
But the room just filled up with mosquitos |
D E |
they heard that my body was free |
F#m C#m |
Then I took the dust of a long sleepless night |
D A |
and I put it in your little shoe |
Bm G |
And then I confess that I tortured the dress |
Bm A G A |
that you wore for the world to look through |
A Bm |
I showed my heart to the doctor |
D A |
he said I just have to quit |
A Bm |
Then he wrote himself a prescription |
D E |
and your name was mentioned in it |
F#m C#m |
Then he locked himself in a library shelf |
D A |
with the details of our honeymoon |
Bm G |
And I hear from the nurse that he's gotten |
Bm A G A |
much worse and his practice is all in a ruin |
A Bm |
I heard of a saint who had loved you |
D A |
so I studied all night in his school |
A Bm |
He taught that the duty of lovers |
D E |
is to tarnish the golden rule |
F#m C#m |
And just when I was sure that his teachings |
D A |
were pure he drowned himself in the pool |
Bm G |
His body is gone but back here on the lawn |
Bm A G A |
his spirit continues to drool |
Bridge: |
D A A A x4 |
A Bm |
An Eskimo showed me a movie |
D A |
he'd recently taken of you |
A Bm |
The poor man could hardly stop shivering |
D E |
his lips and his fingers were blue |
F#m C#m |
I suppose that he froze when the wind |
D A |
took your clothes and I guess he just never got warm |
Bm G |
But you stand there so |
Bm A G A |
oh please let me come into the storm |
Ending: |
A A D A x4 |
