Em
Standing on the boulevard

    Em
You wish to know my name

        Am7
I'm the Ice Maiden

  Am7               Em
I think perhaps you like being unhappy

        Am7                           Em
I'm the Ice Maiden, the limit of your dreams
[Verse 1]
Cmaj7
Arctic winds blow and still you believe

D                          Db7
Loves makes you one of the chosen

Cmaj7
Die in the snow, I'll never grieve

   D                          E
So what if tomorrow you're frozen

    Cmaj7
And death is a small price for heaven

  Welcome to the glow of high octane affairs

F#m7      Em7       F#m7              Em7
Esperanto style and blonde dishevelled hair

F#m7         Em7      F#m7              Em7
Subterranean streams, duckling you're a swan

  F#m7        Em7      F#m7         Em7
Infinities of dreams imploding into one
[Bridge]

All those nights I dreamt of you

I wonder where they've gone

Standing on the boulevard

    Bm9
I've always known your name

           Em7
You're the Ice Maiden

    Em7            Bm9
Let you and I grow frosty together

           Em7                             Bm9
You're the Ice Maiden, today you meet your match
[Verse 2]
Gmaj7
Girl when I burn, hell nothing's the same!

A                               Ab7
I'll singe your pretty blonde lashes

Gmaj7
We're talking fire, we're talking flame

A                       Ab7/C
We're talking ice into ashes

    Gmaj7
But death is a small price for heaven
