Verse

C5                                  F5           C5
My dad must have been drinking the night I was conceived
C5
A flailing lost delirious sperm
  F5                 C5
A seaman lost at sea
        F5                                C5
But someway, somehow I found you and the journey has been long
F5                                                C5
A troubled somber singer who had finally found a song

Chorus

F5                        C5
And I don't wanna do you no harm
F5      C5   F5  C5  F5                C5
Yes I just wanna die in your arms

Verse

The bitter fighting cold froze the waves within their tracks
Trapped beneath the ice never to come back
The skaters whirled, and twirled, and glided effortless in motion
Laughing in their blissful dance upon the frozen ocean

C5        G5        A5
        
G5
Am I the only one that this happens to
F5
Does this mother know no other
G5                                                F5
Well my mother taught me enough about love to know you are my lover

Verse

The ice cracked and crackled
And from it steam would rise
Her wings spread far and wide had whisked away the sky
And though I cannot see her now I still look everyplace
Washed upon the shore and saved by your humbling grace

Chorus

And I don't wanna do you no harm
Yes, I just wanna die in your arms

Instrumental
