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