Intro - E C#m A B x2
[A]Cold dawn won`t comfort yo[E]u
[A]Cold coffee won`t see you t[E]hrough
[A]Cold sheets won`t heal your[E] heart
[A]Your frozen fingers or your name[E] so tarred
[E]I know so rare[C#m]ly that things[A] come your way[B]
[E]Your ways are tender[C#m] and your paths are s[A]traight[B]
[E]Your mind`s not lived [C#m]in the way our[A]s are set[B]
[E]Your heart is open[C#m] to love a[A]nd regret[B]
[A]Rings and letters they pass yo[E]u by
You wish them well and seldom cry
For stones and promises and wedding sighs
You`ve known the times that you`ve lived and died
[E]These sailors come [C#m]and spend ti[A]me ashore[B]
Their thoughts are hoarded as yours have been stored
Your mind`s not lived in the way ours are set
Your heart is open to love and regret
[E] [A]Outside in the morning air[E]
I hear the soundtrack of the Blues harp player
It touches feelings that you don`t arouse
Knocks me back to that shuttered house
Take me back when they`re all out
Take me back to that shuttered house
Solo E C#m A B (chords continue til fade)
