Bruce Cockburn – The Coldest Night Of The Year (Guitar)

      D           Bm      Em     A
I was up all night, socializing

D                            Bm                  Em    A
Trying to keep the latent depression from crystalizing

G                             A                      D     Bm
Now the sun is lurking just behind the Scarborough horizon

(Bm)                Em
And you're not even here

A                           G  D
On the coldest night of the year

  D                   Bm    Em     A
I took in Yonge Street at a glance

D                      Bm
Heard the punkers playing

                   Em    A
Watched the bikers dance

G                            A                  D      Bm
Everybody wishing they could go to the south of France

(Bm)                Em
And you're not even here

A                           G  D
On the coldest night of the year

F#
  Hey, look at me now

                   G
See the shape I'm in

A
  It's taken me so long to catch on to what's going on

  Bm
Inside this skin

F#                                             G
   When two lovers really love there's nothing there

         A
But this suddenly compact universe

                       Bm  A
Of skin and breath and hai-air

  D                           Bm
I watched the all night TV show

                 Em   A
In the all night bar

  D                     Bm
I drove all the people home

                       Em   A
I was the one with the car

G                              A
Now I'm sitting here alone and sleepless

                        D   Bm 
And wondering where you are

                     Em
And wishing you were here

A                           G  D
On the coldest night of the year

G                              A
Now I'm sitting here alone and sleepless

                        D   Bm
And wondering where you are

                     Em
And wishing you were here

A                            D A/C#
On the coldest night of the year
