IG've been waiting for you to come bAack
since you lCeft MinneapGolis
Snow covers the stDreetlamps and the
winCdowsills
The bGuildings and the Dbrittle crooked tCreesG  
Dead leaves of DecDember Gthin skinned and
sDplintered
NGever gotten uDsed to this bitter wiCnter
I've been Gwasted angry and sAad since you
lCeft MinneapGolis
I wish my thoughts were pDure like the
dCriven snow
Like the Gheavens and the Dspring's virgin
bCuds
But they Gstrangled me up with their DsinG  
fill me up with DpoisonG  
Black clouds have Dcovered up the sCun again
I can Galways trace it Aback to that nCight in
MinneapGolis
Here on the seventh Dfloor in a roCom I can't
call mineG  
Deadbolt on the Ddoor do not disCturb signG  
Shaking and tDrembling Gon the clean white
Dlinen
GSlivers of starlight Ddanced across the
Cceiling
A Gdozen yellow Aroses all thats leCft in
MinneapGolis
I wish I'd never sDeen your face or hCeard
your voice
You're a Gbad pain in my Dgut I wanna sCpit
you outG  
Open up this Dwound agaiGn let my blood flow
Dred and thinG  
Into the gDlistening Ginto the DwhitenessG  
Into the mDelting snow of MinneCapolisG

G A

I've been waiting for you to come back

C G

since you left Minneapolis

Snow covers the streetlamps and the

windowsills

G D C G

The buildings and the brittle crooked trees

D G

Dead leaves of December thin skinned and

splintered

G D C

Never gotten used to this bitter winter

G A

I've been wasted angry and sad since you

C G

left Minneapolis

I wish my thoughts were pure like the

driven snow

G D

Like the heavens and the spring's virgin

buds

G D G

But they strangled me up with their sin

D G

fill me up with poison

D C

Black clouds have covered up the sun again

G A C

I can always trace it back to that night in

Minneapolis

D C

Here on the seventh floor in a room I can't

call mine

D C G

Deadbolt on the door do not disturb sign

D G

Shaking and trembling on the clean white

linen

G D

Slivers of starlight danced across the

ceiling

G A C

A dozen yellow roses all thats left in

Minneapolis

D C

I wish I'd never seen your face or heard

your voice

G D C

You're a bad pain in my gut I wanna spit

you out

D G

Open up this wound again let my blood flow

D G

red and thin

D G D G

Into the glistening into the whiteness

D C G

Into the melting snow of Minneapolis
