[Intro]
Cmaj7 Fmaj7
[Verse]
C
She ran until face was numb with cold
F
And wore a cotton gown that blazed the night untold
C
She ran until her feet refused to hold
F
So heavy a heart for someone merely ten years old
[Pre-Chorus]
C
And when she reached the river, her knees began to shiver,
F
Her head with pounding voices from home
C
Behind her was a vision, a painful apparition
F
Of a darker world that no one should know
[Chorus]
Dm7 Am Am Asus2
Somebody's bed will
F Dm7 Am F
Never be warm again the river will keep this friend
Dm7 Am Am Asus2
Yeah somebody's bed
F Dm7 C
Will never be warm again no never again
[Verse]
C
She dived beneath the water's icy skin,
F
Hoping the cold would kill the smell of angry gin,
C
And her eyes grew wider than they'd ever been
F
Just wishing the numbness to cut deeper with its pins.
[Pre-Chorus]
C
And as her body lay there she decided to stay there
F
Till darkness came to pull her away.
C
And beautifully she sank as up river was the bank
F
Where some bodiless troubles would stay.
