A / A / A / A /

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 /
/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 /
/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 /C#m /C#m
And just when I was sure
/C#m /C#m
that his teachings were pure
/Bm /Bm /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 /
/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
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
o, please let me come into the storm.
