Verse 1:
--------
B
        B
The coldest shoulder cast in metal, frozen to the bone,
                                                                Add9
to rely on hook, line and sinker, what a sinker, sinking like a stone.
You'd be better of alone
        B
She saw me on the television underneath the sun,
                                                              Add9
thought that I was warm like a mother, lover, brother she was wrong.
                        C#              D
Me, I don't lon to be - long
Chorus:
-------
E             G                        E            G
Cold, been ex-communnicated 'cause I'm cold, my temp'rature's been rated
        E
and I'm cold
G                               Asus4
Bring to me my big old sweater, nothing more will make me better
Play verse 1 with there lyrics (of verse 2):
--------------------------------------------
I met her on a Monday and my heart did nothing new
Seems she thought of me as some mystic, fatalistic,
Mystical guru.
Me, I'haven't got a clue.
But floating on a migc carpet high above the earth,
You can see the world like a Buddha, bread and Buddha,
Bigger thant you hurt.
Don't you know that love is work?
Play chorus 1 with these lyrics (of chorus 2):
----------------------------------------------
Cold, no heat on the horizon, guess I'm cold,
And Capricorn is rising, yes I'm cold.
Listened to my old friend Nockles,
Hoped that it would warm the cockles
Middle:
-------
B                                                A
You can't fight the fear, you can't, this is the road you're on.
E                                           D
You don't belong to me you don't belong to anyone
B                                               A
Your reputation lies not in your eyes but those who dare
E
will bite the hand that feeds when it don't meet your needs
F#                          G
when you got blood to bleed you got a life to lead...
B
             Aadd9                                          C#
In the flood      with my blood I can hold you in the flood    with my blood
Play chorus 1, and then
Chorus 4:
---------
E            G6                        E                G6
Cold no heat on the horizon, guess I'm cold there'll be no compromising
E       G6    Asus4
  Cold, cool, cold, stone
E           G6          E           G6
cold, stone cold, stone cold, stone cold, stone | repeat and fade out
End of song
