Come In From The Cold Chords by Joni Mitchell

_ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _
[Gb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Db] _ _ _ _ _ [Gb] _
_ Back in 1957 [Ab] we had to dance a foot [Db] apart _ _ _ _ And they'd hawk at us [Bbm] from the sidelines _ _ _
_ Calling [Cm] their rulers without [Db] a heart _ _ _ _ And [Gb] so with just the touch of our fingers
All [Ab] we could make our circuit be explode [Db] _ All _ _ _ we [Bbm] ever wanted _ _ _ _ was [Ab] just to come in from [Db] the cold
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Bbm] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Db] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Bbm] _
_ We _ _ _ [Gb] really thought we had a purpose [Ab] We were so anxious _ [Db] to achieve _ _ _
We had [Bbm] hope the world had promised _ _ [Ab] For a slave to [Db]
liberty
_ Really _ _ [Gb] I slaved away for something better And I was [Db] bought and sold
_ And _ all I [Bbm] ever wanted _ _ _ _ was [Ab] just to come in from [Db] the cold
Come in _ _ from [Bb] the cold
_ _ [Bbm] _ _ _ [Db] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Bbm] _
I _ _ _ _ [Abm] feel your [Gb] legs under the table _ _ Leaning into [Db] mine
_ I _ feel [Bbm] renewed _ I feel disabled
_ [Ab] By these bonfires in [Db] my spine I _ _ _ _ [Gb]
don't _ _ know how soon this was _
Reaching san [Db] dieris hall _ _ _ But all [Bbm] I ever wanted _ _
_ Was [Ab] just to come in from [Db] the cold
Come in _ _ from [Bbm] the cold
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Db] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Bbm] _
I _ _ _ _ [Abm] am not a [Eb] stone commission _ [Ab] Like a statue _ [Db] in a park _ _ _
I am flesh [Bbm] and blood and vision _ I [Ab] am hounding in [Db] the dark
_ _ _ _ _ [Gb] Among the shadows of jackals Or falling [Ab] on a faithful by [Db] the road _ _ _
All they [Bbm] ever wanted _ Was _ _ [Ab] just to come in from [Db] the cold
Come in _ _ from [Bbm] the cold
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Db] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Bbm]
Is _ _ _ _ _ [Abm] this just vulgar [Eb] electricity _ [Ab] Is this the edifying [Db] fire
Does _ _ your _ [Bbm] smile's covert simplicity _
_ _ [Ab] _ Depace as [Db] it admires
_ Are _ _ [Gb] you just checking out your mojo Or _ _ [Ab] am I just fine not growing [Db] old _ _ _ _
_ All I [Bbm] ever wanted _ _ _ _ Was [Ab] just to come in from [Db] the cold
Come in from [Bb] the cold
_ _ _ Please come [Db] in
Come in _ _ from [Bb] the cold
_ _ _ _ _ I [Abm] know we [Gb] never will be perfect _ [Ab] _ _
Never entirely [Db] clear _ _ _ _
We get [Bbm] hurt and we just panic And _ [Ab] we strike out [Db] out of fear
I _ _ _ [Gb] fear the sentence of the solitude [Ab] 200 _ years [Db] on hold _ _
All [Bbm] I ever wanted Was _ [Ab] just to come in from [Db] the cold
Come in _ from [Bbm] the cold
_ _ Come _ _ _ [Db] _
_ in _ _ from [Bb] the cold
When _ _ _ [Ab] I thought _ [Eb] life's a meaning _ [Ab] Then I thought I had some choice
[Db] _ Then _ _ _ I [Bbm] made some valid judgments In _ [Ab] a self-important [Db] voice
_ _ _ _ _ But [Gb] then absurdity came over me [Ab] And I longed to [Db] lose control _ _ _
All I [Bbm] ever wanted Was _ _ [Ab] just to come in from [Db] the cold
Come in from _ _ [Bbm] the cold
_ _ _ _ Please [Db] come in
Come in _ _ from the [Bbm] cold
Come _ _ _ _ [Db] in _ _ from _ _ [Bbm] the cold
_ _ _ _ Come [Db] in _ _ _ _ _ from [Bbm]
the cold
_ _ Please [Db] come in
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Bbm] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Db] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Bbm] _
