[E]
All the water's run out
And you sit there wet
[A] There's a high speed chase
On the TV set
[E] And I think to myself
Why hate [B] the winner?
[E]
The fireplace glows on
The school outside
[B]
[A] You've got all around your head
Words in your eyes
[E] They're the words I would say
If only I was [B] braver
But [A] it's [E] much too cold
[A] To run like a [Em] dog all [B] alone
So
[A] come to my [E] side
And snuggle with [A] me [B] in a blanket
Don't
[G#]
[A] offer your liver
[B]
Cause I'm not the one [E]
to take it
I'll batten the doors and the windows too
[A] The radio man says it's negative two
[E] And then he puts on a song
That just wouldn't [A] fit in [B] the summer
[E]
Your body, it sways, it's so fragile and bare
You say, [A] won't you come here?
Clay in my hair but [E] I stare like a tree
Again [B] by shiver
It's [D]
[A] much too [E] cold
To
[A] run like a [E] dog all [B] alone
So
[A] come to my side
[E] And snuggle with me in a [B] blanket
[A] Don't offer your love

Floorboards are quiet and cold to the feet
And [A] I cry like a child
Cause you've gone to sleep
[E] And I'd give you my soul
If it wasn't that of [B] a sinner
You're
[E] no virgin, there ain't no angel so clean
And [A] there's no telling all of the damage you've seen
What [E] your skin makes for me
A warm [B] screaming reminder
But [A] it's much too [E]
cold
[A] To run like a dog [E]
all alone
