 A / A / A / A

  A      A           Bm      Bm
 I lit a thin green candle
  D           D          A    A
 to make you jealous of me
          A                A           Bm        Bm
 but the room just filled up with mosquitoes
       D             D        E       E
 they heard that my body was free.
       F#m        F#m       C#m            C#m
 Then I took the dust of a long sleepless night
         D         D            A      A
 and I put it in your little shoe
      Bm         Bm          G             G
 and then I confess that I tortured the dress
           Bm           A             G         G
 that you wore for the world to look through.


 A / A / A / A

  A           A            Bm      Bm
 I showed my heart to the doctor
  D           D            A     A
 he said I'd just have to quit
       A            A          Bm        Bm
 then he wrote himself a perscription
      D             D           E       E
 and your name was mentioned in it.
       F#m          F#m       C#m     C#m
 Then he locked himself in a library shelf
           D          D        A      A
 with the details of our honeymoon
        Bm            Bm
 and I hear from the nurse
            G           G
 that he's gotten much worse
          Bm          A        G     G
 and his practice is all in a ruin.


 A / A / A / A

  A            A             Bm        Bm
 I heard of a saint who had loved you
       D           D            A        A
 So I studied all night in his school
     A               A       Bm        Bm
 he taught that the duty of lovers
        D           D      E       E
 is to tarnish the golden rule.
           F#m        F#m
 And just when I was sure
           C#m            C#m
 that his teachings were pure
     D           D          A       A
 he drowned himself in the pool
      Bm      Bm            G           G
 his body is gone but back here on the lawn
      Bm         A        G     G
 his spirit continues to drool.

     A      A           Bm      Bm
 An Eskimo showed me a movie
       D        D        A     A
 he'd recently taken of you
      A              A           Bm        Bm
 the poor man could hardly stop shivering,
      D            D            E       E
 his lips and his fingers were blue.
   F#m             F#m
I suppose that he froze
           C#m            C#m
 when the wind took your clothes
        D             D         A
 and I guess he just never got warm
          Bm             Bm           G           G
 but you stand there so nice in your blizzard of ice
            Bm          A        G     G
 o, please let me come into the storm.
