        Am         G         Am  G
As    I sit in the all night diner

      Am           G    Am G
You return to your easy chair

     Am            G            Am  G
You awake to your work and your woman

         Am              G         Fmaj 7
And I'll dream that it's me lying there

         Am        G               Am    G
You can look in my eyes but you'll never know

            Am       G         Am     G
There's  an ache inside that I never show

    Fmaj 7
A defensive device

                 G        Am G  Am G
Meant to keep my heart on ice

  Am       G       Am  G Am       G    Am G
I keep my heart on ice I chill my holy soul

  Am        G       Am
I shield my fragile eggshell love

     Fmaj 7            G
>From attack during the groundswell

     Am      G       Am  G     Am       G      Am G
I'll act the part so well I'll play my finest role

        Am     G          Am
But the furies take their toll and their price

       Fmaj 7          Am G  Am G
Is to keep my heart on ice

        Am          G        Am G
As    I sit in the all night diner

            Am           G         Am G
You leaned  back in your nightclub seat

       Am           G              Am   G
I went out with two friends and a stranger

       Am          G       Fmaj 7
With a laugh and a pang of defeat

      Am             G         Am        G  Am
But I looked in your eyes as I turned to go

          Am        G              Am
Was there something there that you couldn't show

  Fmaj 7
A defensive device

         Am        G        Am
Meant to keep your heart of ice

   Am         G       Am G  Am       G    Am G
You keep your heart on ice you chill your holy soul

    Am          G       Am
You shield your fragile eggshell love

     Fmaj 7            G
>From attack during the groundswell

     Am      G       Am    G     Am            G      Am   G
You  act the part so well you'll play your    finest role

        Am     G          Am
But the furies take their toll and their price

       Fmaj 7          Am  G   Am  G
Is to keep my heart on ice

        Am         G         Am  G
As    I sit in the all night diner

      Am          G          Am G
I was thinking of you at the bar

        Am             G             Am  G
And the smiles and the jests and the whispers

     Am                      Fmaj 7
As I watched once again from afar

      Am            G           Am    G
But I looked in your eyes and I never knew

      Am       G            Am    G
Did I read you wrong did I misconstrue

    Fmaj 7                                   Am
The defensive device I will keep my heart on ice

  Am       G       Am  G Am       G    Am G
I keep my heart on ice I chill my holy soul

  Am        G       Am
I shield my fragile eggshell love

     Fmaj 7            G
>From attack during the groundswell

     Am      G       Am  G     Am       G      Am G
I'll act the part so well I'll play my finest role

        Am     G          Am
But the furies take their toll and their price

       Fmaj 7          Am G  Am G
Is to keep my heart on ice
