Chords

Feel free to add the sevenths to the chords to add a bit more of the jazz vibe of the song. [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
