Intro:  A5
A5                   B5
I lit a thin green candle
D5                      A5
To make you jealous of me.
A5                         B5
The room filled up with mosquitos
       D5                     E5
They heard that my body was free
F#5                       C#5
And I took the dust of a long sleepless night
       D5                     A5
And I put it in your little shoe
B5                         G5
And I must confess that I tortured the dress
         B5            A5              G5           A5
That you wore for the world to look through.

A5                             B5
And I showed my heart to the doctor
D5                           A5
He said, ?You just have to quit?
A5                           B5
Then he wrote himself a prescription
A5                              E5
And your name was mentioned in it
F#5                          C#5
Then he locked himself in a library shelf
          D5                A5
With the details of our honeymoon
B5                               G5
I hear from the nurse that he?s gotten much worse
        B5           A5        G5          A5
And his practice is all in a ruin.


A5                           B5
I once knew a saint who had loved you
D5                           A5
I studied all night in his school
A5                           B5
He taught that the duty of lovers 
        D5                  E5
Was to tarnish the golden rule.
F#5                                C#5
And just when I was sure that his teachings were pure
      D5                    A5
he drowned himself in the pool
      B5                   G5
his body is gone, but out here on the lawn
B5          A5           G5        A5
his spirit continues to drool.

A5                     B5
An Eskimo showed me a movie
D5                       A5
He?d recently taken of you
A5                               B5
The poor man could hardly stop shivering
A5                              E5
His lips and his fingers were blue
F#5                              C#5
I suppose that he froze when the wind took your clothes
      D5                       A5
And I guess he just never got warm
B5                                    G5
But you stand there so nice, in your blizzard of ice
        B5          A5          G5       A5
Please let me come into your storm.
