[Intro] 
A
[Verse 1]
AI lit a thin green cBmandle
DTo make you jealous of Ame.
AThe room filled up with moBmsquitos
They heDard that my body was fEree
F#mAnd I took the dust of a lC#mong sleepless night
And I pDut it in your little sAhoe
And BmI must confess that I Gtortured the dress
That you Bmwore for the Aworld to look Gthrough.A  
[Verse 2]
AAnd I showed my heart to the dBmoctor
DHe said, “You just have to qAuit”
AThen he wrote himself a presBmcription
And Dyour name was mentioned in Eit
Then he F#mlocked himself in a C#mlibrary shelf
With the Ddetails of our honeymoonA  
And I Bmhear from the nurse that he’s Ggotten much worse
And his Bmpractice is aAll in a rGuin.A  
[Verse 3]
AI once knew a saint who had Bmloved you
DI studied all night in his sAchool
AHe taught that the duty of lBmovers 
Was to Dtarnish the golden Erule.
And F#mjust when I was sure that his C#mteachings were pure
He Ddrowned himself in the Apool
His Bmbody is gone, but out Ghere on the lawn
BmHis spirit cAontinues to Gdrool.A  
[Verse 4]
An AEskimo showed me a Bmmovie
He’d Drecently taken of Ayou
The Apoor man could hardly stop Bmshivering
His Dlips and his fingers were Eblue
I F#msuppose that he froze when the C#mwind took your clothes
And I Dguess he just never got Awarm
But you Bmstand there so nice, in your Gblizzard of ice
Please Bmlet me come Ainto your Gstorm.A
