[Cm] [B]
[Cm] [B]
[Cm] What skin in the [B] night, the hour when animals [Cm] are born,
When crimes of [B] passion are committed.
[Cm] Take me to the morning [B] light, take me to your leader.
[C#] It took a girl like [Cm] me, to bring you to your [C#] knees.
You took a girl like me, [Cm]
you are my [B] heart, you are my only heart.
[Cm] But this cold air [B] is killing me.
[Cm] And as we make love, [B] the silence, the silence.
[Cm] Trying to find a thread, [B] of a failed romance.
[C#] It took a girl like [Cm] me, to bring you to your [C#] knees.
You took a girl like [Cm] me, I swing my face [B] towards the sky.
You put your [Cm] hand over my mouth.
[B]
Oh take [Cm] me, take me to the frozen north.
[B] Skating, falling, falling [Cm] down, down, down.
Into [B] icy water.
[C#] I'll be what you want me to be.
To bring you to your knees.
Your lover, your daughter, will move in slow motion.
Falling down, down, down, into icy water.
You took a girl like me.
[Cm] I might never [B] leave this room again.
Shut [Cm] myself inside your old photographs.
[B] Faded light, of a young girl.
[Cm] Patterns, shadows [B] on the walls.
Painted [Cm] ladies, they look a lot like [B] me.
[C#] You took a girl like [Cm] me, to bring you to your knees.
[C#] You took a girl [Cm] like me.
[C]
