               COLD KISSES
             Richard Thompson
EmHere I am in your room going through your stuff.
Said you'd be G/F#gone five Gminutes, Dthat's time Emenough.
EmHere in your drawer there's lacy things;
Old credit G/F#cards, Gbeads, Dbangles and Emrings.
But I Amthink I've found what I'm Glooking for
AmHidden away at the Gback of the drawer;
Here's the G/F#life that you Emled before.
EmOld photographs of the life you led,
Arm in G/F#arm with Mr GX, DY and EmZ.
Old boyfriends, big and small;
Got to G/F#see how I Gmeasure Dup to them Emall.
BmThere is a place we all must Astart, A/Glove.
BmWho were you holding in that Afond GembEmrace?
BmI've found a door into your Aheart, A/Glove,
EmAnd do you still Dfeel the Cwarmth of Cold EmKisses?
EmHere I am behind enemy lines
Looking G/F#for secrets, looGking for Dsigns.Em  
EmOld boyfriends big and small,
Got to sG/F#ee how I mGeasure up to tDhem all.Em  
AmThis one's handsome, not Gtoo bright;
AmThis one's clever with hGis hands alright,
G/F#Tougher than me if it came to a Emfight.
AmThis one's a poet, bit oGf a wet,
AmA bit of a gypsy, a bit Gof a threat.
G/F#I wonder if she's got ovEmer him yet
BmOld passions froAzen in the seconA/Gd;
BmWho were you holding in that fonAd emGbracEme?
BmHearts have a paAst that must be A/Greckoned,
EmAnd do you still Dfeel the wCarmth of cold kiEmsses?
EmTime to put the past away,
G/F#That's your footGstep in the streDet I'd sEmay.
EmTie the ribbon back around it,
G/F#Everything jGust tDhe way I found Emit.
AmI can hear you turn the Gkey
AmAnd my head's buried when yGou see me
In a G/F#Margaret Millar mysEmtery.
EmAnd do you still Dfeel the warmth Cof Cold Kisses?Em  
EmDo you sDtill feel the waCrmth of Cold KisEmses?

COLD KISSES

Richard Thompson

Here I am in your room going through your stuff.

G/F# G D Em

Said you'd be gone five minutes, that's time enough.

Here in your drawer there's lacy things;

G/F# G D Em

Old credit cards, beads, bangles and rings.

Am G

But I think I've found what I'm looking for

Am G

Hidden away at the back of the drawer;

G/F# Em

Here's the life that you led before.

Old photographs of the life you led,

G/F# G D Em

Arm in arm with Mr X, Y and Z.

Old boyfriends, big and small;

G/F# G D Em

Got to see how I measure up to them all.

Bm A A/G

There is a place we all must start, love.

Bm A G Em

Who were you holding in that fond embrace?

Bm A A/G

I've found a door into your heart, love,

Em D C Em

And do you still feel the warmth of Cold Kisses?

Here I am behind enemy lines

G/F# G D Em

Looking for secrets, looking for signs.

Old boyfriends big and small,

G/F# G D Em

Got to see how I measure up to them all.

Am G

This one's handsome, not too bright;

Am G

This one's clever with his hands alright,

G/F# Em

Tougher than me if it came to a fight.

Am G

This one's a poet, bit of a wet,

Am G

A bit of a gypsy, a bit of a threat.

G/F# Em

I wonder if she's got over him yet

Bm A A/G

Old passions frozen in the second;

Bm A G Em

Who were you holding in that fond embrace?

Bm A A/G

Hearts have a past that must be reckoned,

Em D C Em

And do you still feel the warmth of cold kisses?

Time to put the past away,

G/F# G D Em

That's your footstep in the street I'd say.

Tie the ribbon back around it,

G/F# G D Em

Everything just the way I found it.

Am G

I can hear you turn the key

Am G

And my head's buried when you see me

G/F# Em

In a Margaret Millar mystery.

Em D C Em

And do you still feel the warmth of Cold Kisses?

Em D C Em

Do you still feel the warmth of Cold Kisses?
