Shawn Colvin – Heart On Ice (Guitar)

        Bm         A         Bm  A
As    I sit in the all night diner

      Bm           A    Bm A
You return to your easy chair

     Bm            A            Bm  A
You awake to your work and your woman

         Bm              A         Gmaj 7
And I'll dream that it's me lying there

         Bm        A               Bm    A
You can look in my eyes but you'll never know

            Bm       A         Bm     A
There's  an ache inside that I never show

    Gmaj 7
A defensive device

                 A        Bm A  Bm A
Meant to keep my heart on ice

  Bm       A       Bm  A Bm       A    Bm A
I keep my heart on ice I chill my holy soul

  Bm        A       Bm
I shield my fragile eggshell love

     Gmaj 7            A
>From attack during the groundswell

     Bm      A       Bm  A     Bm       A      Bm A
I'll act the part so well I'll play my finest role

        Bm     A          Bm
But the furies take their toll and their price

       Gmaj 7          Bm A  Bm A
Is to keep my heart on ice

        Bm          A        Bm A
As    I sit in the all night diner

            Bm           A         Bm A
You leaned  back in your nightclub seat

       Bm           A              Bm   A
I went out with two friends and a stranger

       Bm          A       Gmaj 7
With a laugh and a pang of defeat

      Bm             A         Bm        A  Bm
But I looked in your eyes as I turned to go

          Bm        A              Bm
Was there something there that you couldn't show

  Gmaj 7
A defensive device

         Bm        A        Bm
Meant to keep your heart of ice

   Bm         A       Bm A  Bm       A    Bm A
You keep your heart on ice you chill your holy soul

    Bm          A       Bm
You shield your fragile eggshell love

     Gmaj 7            A

        Bm     A          Bm

       Gmaj 7          Bm  A   Bm  A
Is to keep my heart on ice

        Bm         A         Bm  A
As    I sit in the all night diner

      Bm          A          Bm A
I was thinking of you at the bar

        Bm             A             Bm  A
And the smiles and the jests and the whispers

     Bm                      Gmaj 7
As I watched once again from afar

      Bm            A           Bm    A
But I looked in your eyes and I never knew

      Bm       A            Bm    A
Did I read you wrong did I misconstrue

    Gmaj 7                                   Bm
The defensive device I will keep my heart on ice

  Bm       A       Bm  A Bm       A    Bm A
I keep my heart on ice I chill my holy soul

  Bm        A       Bm
I shield my fragile eggshell love

     Gmaj 7            A

Is to keep my heart on ice
