Reina del Cid "The Cooling"
[Intro]
 G   GM7   Em   Em7   C   C   D   D(x2)
[Verse 1]
The Gfirst thing to GM7go
it might surEmprise you to Em7know
it's not the Cblood from the muscle
or the Dstrength from the bone
GBetween you and GM7me
it's the Emsimplest Em7thing
it's the Cwarmth of the body
when the Dsoul is at home
[Chorus 1]
It's the Emheat (Bmmm)
and you Cstruggle to keep it Dinside
but it Emseems (Bmmm)
it's Cstealing away in the Dnight
[Verse 2]
When you Gfirst reaGM7lized
that your Embody had Em7died
you Cwent to the tunnel
to Dwait there alone
And you Gstood there for GM7days
but the Emlight never Em7came
so you Ctook your poor body
and you Dwalked it back home
[Verse 3]
Now you're pGopping some GM7pills
oh to Emfight back the Em7chill
and you're Cpicking some flowers
to Dhelp with the stench
But no Gmanner of GM7blush
will Embe quite eEm7nough
to Ccover the pallor
that Dspreads 'cross your skin
[Chorus 2]
and they Emsaid (Bmmm)
that Chell would be fire and Dsmoke
but in the Emend (Bmmm)
it's the Ccooling that scares you the Dmost
[Verse 4]
There's a Gpretty young GM7thing
with a Empretty gold Em7ring
and she tCalks to you every night
'cause she Ddon't know you're dead
And you Gcan't figure GM7how
when you're Emwalking through Em7town
no one's Cnoticed the knife
sticking Dout of your head
[Verse 5]
Now you're Gliving in GM7fear
that Emsometime this Em7year
they will Cfinally notice
that your Dheart doesn't beat
And they'll Gdig you a GM7grave
and they'll Emput you aEm7way
but you Cstill won't be ready
you'll grow Dback like a weed
[Chorus 3]
Like a Emweed (Bmmm)
and you Cwonder what you're waiting Dfor
'cause it Emseems (Bmmm)
there's no Chonor in death Danymore

Reina del Cid "The Cooling"

[Intro]

G GM7 Em Em7 C C D D

(x2)

[Verse 1]

G GM7

The first thing to go

Em Em7

it might surprise you to know

it's not the blood from the muscle

or the strength from the bone

G GM7

Between you and me

Em Em7

it's the simplest thing

it's the warmth of the body

when the soul is at home

[Chorus 1]

Em Bm

It's the heat (mm)

C D

and you struggle to keep it inside

Em Bm

but it seems (mm)

C D

it's stealing away in the night

[Verse 2]

G GM7

When you first realized

Em Em7

that your body had died

you went to the tunnel

to wait there alone

G GM7

And you stood there for days

Em Em7

but the light never came

so you took your poor body

and you walked it back home

[Verse 3]

G GM7

Now you're popping some pills

Em Em7

oh to fight back the chill

and you're picking some flowers

to help with the stench

G GM7

But no manner of blush

Em Em7

will be quite enough

to cover the pallor

that spreads 'cross your skin

[Chorus 2]

Em Bm

and they said (mm)

C D

that hell would be fire and smoke

Em Bm

but in the end (mm)

C D

it's the cooling that scares you the most

[Verse 4]

G GM7

There's a pretty young thing

Em Em7

with a pretty gold ring

and she talks to you every night

'cause she don't know you're dead

G GM7

And you can't figure how

Em Em7

when you're walking through town

no one's noticed the knife

sticking out of your head

[Verse 5]

G GM7

Now you're living in fear

Em Em7

that sometime this year

they will finally notice

that your heart doesn't beat

G GM7

And they'll dig you a grave

Em Em7

and they'll put you away

but you still won't be ready

you'll grow back like a weed

[Chorus 3]

Em Bm

Like a weed (mm)

C D

and you wonder what you're waiting for

Em Bm

'cause it seems (mm)

C D

there's no honor in death anymore
