Intro: A

A                   Bm     D                      A
I lit a thin green candle to make you jealous of me
                                     Bm           D                       E
But the room just filled up with mosquitos, they heard that my body was free
     F#m                   C#m                        D                      A
Then I took the dust of a long sleepless night and I put it in your little shoe
      Bm                   G                           Bm           A               G     A
And then I confess that I tortured the dress that you wore for the world to look through

I showed my heart to the doctor, he said I just have to quit
                                     Bm           D                       E
Then he wrote himself a prescription and your name was mentioned in it
     F#m                   C#m                        D                      A
Then he locked himself in a library shelf with the details of our honeymoon
      Bm                   G                           Bm           A               G     A
And I hear from the nurse that he's gotten much worse and his practice is all in a ruin

A                   Bm     D                      A
I heard of a saint who had loved you, so I studied all night in his school
                                     Bm           D                       E
He taught that the duty of lovers is to tarnish the golden rule
     F#m                   C#m                        D                      A
And just when I was sure that his teachings were pure he drowned himself in the pool
      Bm                   G                           Bm           A               G     A
His body is gone but back here on the lawn his spirit continues to drool

A                   Bm     D                      A
An Eskimo showed me a movie he'd recently taken of you
                                     Bm           D                       E
The poor man could hardly stop shivering, his lips and his fingers were blue
     F#m                   C#m                        D                      A
I suppose that he froze when the wind took your clothes and I guess he just never got warm
      Bm                   G                           Bm           A               G     A
But you stand there so nice, in your blizzard of ice, oh please let me come into the storm

La, la ,la ,la...
