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 / 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 / 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
And just when I was sure
/ C#m / C#m
that his teachings were pure
/ D / D / 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 / 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.
