Patty Griffin - Cold As It Gets
INTRO: Gm  
To the end of the Fearth, I Csearch for your face
For the one who laid Fall of our Gmbeauty to waste
Threw our hope into Fhell and our Cchildren to the fire
I am the Fone who Gmcrawled through the wire
CI am the Fone who Gmcrawled through the wire
There's a million sad Fstories on the Cside of the road
Strange how we Fall just got Gmused to the blood
Millions of Fstories that'll Cnever be told
Silent and Ffroze in the Gmmud
CSilent and Ffroze in the Gmmud
CI know a Fcold as Gmcold as it gets
FI know a Cdarkness that's Gmdarker than coal
A wind that Fblows as Ccold as it gets
Blew out the Flight in my Gmsoul
CBlew out the Flight in my Gmsoul
I dream in my Fsleep, I Cdream in my days
Of some sunny Fstreet not Gmso far away
Where up in a Fwindow a Ccurtain will sway
And you and I'll Fmeet down beGmlow
CYou and I'll Fmeet down beGmlow
CI know a Fcold as Gmcold as it gets
FI'll fight a Cwar I may Gmnever see won
I live only to Fsee you Clive to regret
EveryFthing that you've Gmdone
CEveryFthing that you've Gmdone
CEveryFthing that you've Gmdone
