A / A / A / AAABmBm
I lit a thin green candle
DDAA
to make you jealous of me
AABmBm
but the room just filled up with mosquitoes
DDEE
they heard that my body was free.
F#mF#mC#mC#m
Then I took the dust of a long sleepless night
DDAA
and I put it in your little shoe
BmBmGG
and then I confess that I tortured the dress
BmAGG
that you wore for the world to look through.
A / A / A / AAABmBm
I showed my heart to the doctor
DDAA
he said I'd just have to quit
AABmBm
then he wrote himself a perscription
DDEE
and your name was mentioned in it.
F#mF#mC#mC#m
Then he locked himself in a library shelf
DDAA
with the details of our honeymoon

BmBm
and I hear from the nurse
GG
that he's gotten much worse
BmAGG
and his practice is all in a ruin.
A / A / A / AAABmBm
I heard of a saint who had loved you
DDAA
So I studied all night in his school
AABmBm
he taught that the duty of lovers
DDEE
is to tarnish the golden rule.
F#mF#m
And just when I was sure
C#mC#m
that his teachings were pure
DDAA
he drowned himself in the pool
BmBmGG
his body is gone but back here on the lawn
BmAGG
his spirit continues to drool.
AAAAAABmBm
An Eskimo showed me a movie
DDAA
he'd recently taken of you
AABmBm
the poor man could hardly stop shivering,
DDEE
his lips and his fingers were blue.
F#mF#m
I suppose that he froze
C#mC#m
when the wind took your clothes
DDA
and I guess he just never got warm

BmBmGG
but you stand there so nice in your blizzard of ice
BmAGG
o, please let me come into the storm.
