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

 D           D         A   A
to make you jealous of me

         A               A           Bm      Bm
but the room just filled up with mosquitoes

      D             D        E    E
they heard that my body was free

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

       D         D            A   A
and I put it in your little shoe

     Bm        Bm          G             G
and then I confess that I tortured the dress

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

 D           D            A    A
he said I'd just have to quit

     A            A          Bm       Bm
then he wrote himself a perscription

     D             D           E   E
and your name was mentioned in it

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

          D          D        A    A
with the details of our honeymoon

       Bm            Bm
and I hear from the nurse

           G           G
that he's gotten much worse

         Bm          A        G    G
and his practice is all in a ruin
A A A A [Verse 3]
 A            A             Bm        Bm
I heard of a saint who had loved you

      D           D            A      A
So I studied all night in his school

    A               A       Bm     Bm
he taught that the duty of lovers

       D           D      E    E
is to tarnish the golden rule

          F#m        F#m
And just when I was sure

          C#m            C#m
that his teachings were pure

    D          D           A    A
he drowned himself in the pool

     Bm      Bm            G           G
his body is gone but back here on the lawn

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

      D        D        A   A
he'd recently taken of you

     A              A           Bm        Bm
the poor man could hardly stop shivering,

     D            D            E    E
his lips and his fingers were blue

     F#m           F#m
I suppose that he froze

          C#m            C#m
when the wind took your clothes

       D             D         A    A
and I guess he just never got warm

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

            Bm          A        G     G
oh, please let me come into the storm
