[Intro]
A A A A
[Verse 1]
A A Bm Bm
I lit a thin green candle
D D A A
to make you jealous of me
A A Bm Bm
but the room just filled up with mosquitoes
D D E E
they heard that my body was free
F#m F#m C#m C#m
Then I took the dust of a long sleepless night
D D A A
and I put it in your little shoe
Bm Bm G G
and then I confess that I tortured the dress
Bm A G G
that you wore for the world to look through
A A A A
[Verse 2]
A A Bm Bm
I showed my heart to the doctor
D D A A
he said I'd just have to quit
A A Bm Bm
then he wrote himself a perscription
D D E E
and your name was mentioned in it
F#m F#m C#m C#m
Then he locked himself in a library shelf
D D A A
with the details of our honeymoon
Bm Bm
and I hear from the nurse
G G
that he's gotten much worse
Bm A G G
and his practice is all in a ruin
A A A A
[Verse 3]
A A Bm Bm
I heard of a saint who had loved you
D D A A
So I studied all night in his school
A A Bm Bm
he taught that the duty of lovers
D D E E
is to tarnish the golden rule
F#m F#m
And just when I was sure
C#m C#m
that his teachings were pure
D D A A
he drowned himself in the pool
Bm Bm G G
his body is gone but back here on the lawn
Bm A G G
his spirit continues to drool
A A A A
[Verse 4]
A A Bm Bm
An Eskimo showed me a movie
D D A A
he'd recently taken of you
A A Bm Bm
the poor man could hardly stop shivering,
D D E E
his lips and his fingers were blue
F#m F#m
I suppose that he froze
C#m C#m
when the wind took your clothes
D D A A
and I guess he just never got warm
Bm Bm G G
but you stand there so nice in your blizzard of ice
Bm A G G
oh, please let me come into the storm
A A A A
