LA / LA / LA / LA /

I lit a thin green candle
RE /RE /LA /LA
to make you jealous of me
/LA /LA /SIm /SIm
but the room just filled up with mosquitoes
/RE /RE /MI /MI
they heard that my body was free.
/FA#m /FA#m /DO#m /DO#m
Then I took the dust of a long sleepless night
/RE /RE /LA /LA
and I put it in your little shoe
/SIm /SIm /SOL /SOL
and then I confess that I tortured the dress
/SIm /LA /SOL /SOL /
that you wore for the world to look through.
LA / LA / LA / LA /
/LA / /SIm /SIm /
I showed my heart to the doctor
RE /RE /LA /LA
he said I'd just have to quit
/LA /LA /SIm /SIm
then he wrote himself a perscription
/RE /RE /MI /MI
and your name was mentioned in it.
/FA#m /FA#m /DO#m /DO#m
Then he locked himself in a library shelf
/RE /RE /LA /LA
with the details of our honeymoon
/SIm /SIm
and I hear from the nurse
/SOL /SOL
that he's gotten much worse
/SIm /LA /SOL /SOL
and his practice is all in a ruin.
LA / LA / LA / LA /
/LA / /SIm /SIm /
I heard of a saint who had loved you
/RE /RE /LA /LA
So I studied all night in his school
/LA /LA /SIm /SIm
he taught that the duty of lovers
/RE /RE /MI /MI
is to tarnish the golden rule.
/FA#m /FA#m /DO#m /DO#m
And just when I was sure
/DO#m /DO#m
that his teachings were pure
/SIm /SIm /LA /LA
he drowned himself in the pool
/SIm /SIm /SOL /SOL
his body is gone but back here on the lawn
/SIm /LA /SOL /SOL
his spirit continues to drool.
LA / LA / LA / LA /
/LA / /SIm /SIm /
An Eskimo showed me a movie
RE /RE /LA /LA
he'd recently taken of you
/LA /LA /SIm /SIm
the poor man could hardly stop shivering,
/RE /RE /MI /MI
his lips and his fingers were blue.
/FA#m /FA#m
I suppose that he froze
/DO#m /DO#m
when the wind took your clothes
/RE /RE /LA
and I guess he just never got warm
/SIm /SIm /SOL /SOL
but you stand there so nice in your blizzard of ice
/SIm /LA /SOL /SOL
o, please let me come into the storm.
