[Intro]
Cmaj7 Fmaj7
[Verse]
C She ran until face was numb with cold F And wore a cotton gown that blazed the night untold C She ran until her feet refused to hold F So heavy a heart for someone merely ten years old
[Pre-Chorus]
C And when she reached the river, her knees began to shiver, F Her head with pounding voices from home C Behind her was a vision, a painful apparition F Of a darker world that no one should know
[Chorus]
Dm7 Am Am Asus2 Somebody's bed will F Dm7 Am F Never be warm again the river will keep this friend Dm7 Am Am Asus2 Yeah somebody's bed F Dm7 C Will never be warm again no never again
[Verse]
C She dived beneath the water's icy skin, F Hoping the cold would kill the smell of angry gin, C And her eyes grew wider than they'd ever been F Just wishing the numbness to cut deeper with its pins.
[Pre-Chorus]
C And as her body lay there she decided to stay there F Till darkness came to pull her away. C And beautifully she sank as up river was the bank F Where some bodiless troubles would stay.
[Chorus]
Dm7 Am Am Asus2 Somebody's bed will F Dm7 Am F Never be warm again the river will keep this friend Dm7 Am Am Asus2 Yeah somebody's bed F Dm7 C Will never be warm again no never again
[Chorus]
Dm7 Am Am Asus2 Somebody's bed will F Dm7 Am F Never be warm again the river will keep this friend Dm7 Am Am Asus2 Yeah somebody's bed F Dm7 C Will never be warm again no never again
