Intro:
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 nice, in your blizzard of ice
           
Bm         
A          
G   
A
oh please let me come into the storm  

Ending:
A A D A x4
