Intro: [Am] [Esus] [Am] [Esus]
[Am] [G] ~
I was alone my heart was cold it was a stone,
my soul was [Fmaj7]lonely like a stone - there was no m[E]oss.
[Am] [G] ~
And when I danced I danced alone but then I did not dance
because I[Fmaj7] *was* alone. So I did not [E]dance.
[Am] [G] _~_ [Fmaj7]
I shuffled through life invisible to all the happy couples who would mock
me with their me[E]rry laughter "ha-ha-ha".
[Am] The only sound I heard in my l[G]onely silent world was the [F]rusty hammer of my
heart [E]nailing at the hatred in my [Am]soul.
[E] - [G] - [Am] (quickly)
[ synth strings ]
But t[G]hen you[Cmaj7] came,
and my life was turned [Dm]upside [Dmmaj7]down. [Dm7]
[Dm7] You showed me the beauty of the [G7]things that I had never seen.
[C] [ Embellish with [Cmaj7] , [C/G] and [C] ]
Like a snowflake that melts on the eyelash of a startled deer.
Or the [Dm]painting of a [Dmaj7]dog that wears a [Dm7]deerstalker[1] and
s[G7]mokes a pipe that m[Dm]ade you laugh so he[Dmmaj7]artily,
[Dm7] but I had previously t[G7]hought was r[C]ubbi[Cmaj7]sh. [C/G]
Or the [Dm]duck that lands so [Dmmaj7]clumsily on a f[Dm7]rozen pond in winter
but the i[G7]ntoxicating power of our love transforms this simple act into an
ant[C]hropomorphic drama where Mr. Duck's emba[Cmaj7]rrassed and the other ducks are
la[C]ughing (quac[Cmaj7]k quack[C/G] quack quack quack).
[E]/ [Am]
AND THEN YOU LEFT! [Flamenco Style]
[G] And I have died a thousand [F]deaths and I will die a thousand [E]more!
[Am] I thought you were an ang[G]el - you tu[F]rned out to be a w[E]hore!
[Am] And everything has turned to d[G]ust! Everything is infected with th[F]e plague! [E]
[E] Why did you have to sleep with [Am]Craig'
[G] "Oh he's so sensit[F]ive, he's got a tatt[E]oo."
Yeah, [F]carving your name with a compass in my forehead was [E]not enough for you!
[F]* [E] [F]* [E]
[ Flutes ]
[Am] The snow flake on the eye of the dear [G]has turned to
puss that oo[F]zes from an open wo[E]und.
[F] The deer now blind it stumbles in[E]to a ravine.
[Am] The duck lies shredded in a [G]pancake,
[F] soaking in the hoisin of your [E]lies.
[Am] The dog has moved from the pipe to [G]60 cigarettes a day,
and c[F]oughs away his life in the c[Dm]old neon r[E]esearch lab of your b[Am]etrayal. [G]
Of your [F]betr[G]ayal.[Am] ..(fade)
Love You Loads Nat!!
