Chords with lyrics
Intro - E MajorE C# minorC#m A augmentedA BB x2
A augmentedA E MajorE
Cold dawn won't comfort you
A augmentedA E MajorE
Cold coffee won't see you through
A augmentedA E MajorE
Cold sheets won't heal your heart
A augmentedA E MajorE
Your frozen fingers or your name so tarred
E MajorE C# minorC#m A augmentedA BB
I know so rarely that things come your way
E MajorE C# minorC#m A augmentedA BB
Your ways are tender and your paths are straight
E MajorE C# minorC#m A augmentedA BB
Your mind's not lived in the way ours are set
E MajorE C# minorC#m A augmentedA BB
Your heart is open to love and regret
A augmentedA E MajorE
Rings and letters they pass you by
You wish them well and seldom cry
For stones and promises and wedding sighs
You've known the times that you've lived and died
E MajorE C# minorC#m A augmentedA BB
These sailors come and spend time ashore
Their thoughts are hoarded as yours have been stored
Your mind's not lived in the way ours are set
Your heart is open to love and regret
E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE
Outside in the morning air
I hear the soundtrack of the Blues harp player
It touches feelings that you don't arouse
Knocks me back to that shuttered house
Take me back when they're all out
Take me back to that shuttered house
Solo E MajorE C# minorC#m A augmentedA BB (chords continue til fade)
