[Intro ]- E    C#m    A    B    x2 

A                         E 
Cold dawn won`t comfort you 
A                          E 
Cold coffee won`t see you through 
A                          E 
Cold sheets won`t heal your heart 
A                               E 
Your frozen fingers or your name so tarred 


E             C#m           A                  B 
I know so rarely that things come your way 
E                   C#m                  A          B 
Your ways are tender and your paths are straight 
E                     C#m           A              B 
Your mind`s not lived in the way ours are set 
E                 C#m       A               B 
Your heart is open to love and regret 


A                             E 
Rings and letters they pass you 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                  C#m         A                B 
These sailors come and spend time ashore 
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                            E 
               Outside in the morning air 

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)
