[Intro] A [Verse 1]
A                   Bm
I lit a thin green candle

D                      A
To make you jealous of me.

A                         Bm
The room filled up with mosquitos

       D                     E
They heard that my body was free

F#m                       C#m
And I took the dust of a long sleepless night

       D                     A
And I put it in your little shoe

    Bm                    G
And I must confess that I tortured the dress

         Bm           A             G        A
That you wore for the world to look through.
[Verse 2]
A                             Bm
And I showed my heart to the doctor

D                           A
He said, “You just have to quit”

A                           Bm
Then he wrote himself a prescription

    D                          E
And your name was mentioned in it

        F#m                 C#m
Then he locked himself in a library shelf

         D                        A
With the details of our honeymoon

      Bm                            G
And I hear from the nurse that he’s gotten much worse

        Bm           A        G     A
And his practice is all in a ruin.
[Verse 3]
A                           Bm
I once knew a saint who had loved you

D                           A
I studied all night in his school

A                           Bm
He taught that the duty of lovers 

       D                  E
Was to tarnish the golden rule.

    F#m                           C#m
And just when I was sure that his teachings were pure

   D                      A
He drowned himself in the pool

    Bm                    G
His body is gone, but out here on the lawn

Bm          A           G      A
His spirit continues to drool.
[Verse 4]
   A                  Bm
An Eskimo showed me a movie

     D                 A
He’d recently taken of you

    A                          Bm
The poor man could hardly stop shivering

    D                         E
His lips and his fingers were blue

  F#m                            C#m
I suppose that he froze when the wind took your clothes

      D                       A
And I guess he just never got warm

        Bm                           G
But you stand there so nice, in your blizzard of ice

       Bm          A         G       A
Please let me come into your storm.
[Outro] A Bm D A A Bm D A A Bm D A A Bm D E F#m C#m D A Bm G Bm A G A
