[Intro]
D Dsus9 Dsus4 Dsus9 D Dsus9 Dsus4 Dsus9
[Verse 1]
D Dsus9 Dsus4 D Dsus9 Dsus4 D
She came on to him like a slow moving cold front
D Dsus9 Bm A Asus2 Asus4 A
His beer was warmer that the look in her eye
G G D Bm Bm Bm Bm
She sat on a stool, and he said "What do you want?"
D G A D Dsus9 Dsus4 Dsus9
She said "Give me a love that don't freeze up inside"
[Instrumental]
D Dsus9 Dsus4 Dsus9 D
[Verse 2]
D Dsus9 Dsus4 D Dsus9 Dsus4 D
He said, I have melted some hearts in my time, dear
D Dsus9 Bm A Asus2 Asus4 A
But to sit next to you, well I shiver and shake
G G D Bm Bm Bm Bm
And if I knew love, well I don't think I'd be here
D G A D Dsus9 Dsus4 Dsus9
Askin' myself if I've got what it takes
[Chorus]
G G G G D D D
To melt your icy blue harrr -art
G G Bm Bm A Asus2 Asus4 A
Should I start to turn what's been frozen for years
A A D Dsus9 Dsus4 Dsus9 D Dsus9 Dsus4 Dsus9
Into a river of tears
[Verse 3]
D Dsus9 Dsus4 D Dsus9 Dsus4 D
These days we all play cool calm and collected
D Dsus9 Bm A Asus2 Asus4 A
Why, our lips could turn blue just shooting the breeze
G G D Bm Bm Bm Bm
But under the frost, well he thought he detected
D G A D Dsus9 Dsus4 Dsus9
A warm blush of red, and a touch of her knee
[Instrumental]
D Dsus9 Dsus4 Dsus9 D
[Verse 4]
D Dsus9 Dsus4 D Dsus9 Dsus4 D
He said, girl, you're a beauty like I've never witnessed
D Dsus9 Bm A Asus2 Asus4 A
And I've seen the northern lights dancin' on air
G G D Bm Bm Bm Bm
I've felt the cold that can follow the first kiss
D G A D Dsus9 Dsus4 Dsus9
There's just not enough heat in the fires burning there
[Chorus]
G G G G D D D
To melt your icy blue he -art
G G Bm Bm A Asus2 Asus4 A
Should I start to turn what's been frozen for years
A A D Dsus9 Dsus4 Dsus9 D Dsus9 Dsus4 Dsus9
Into a river of tears
D Dsus9 Dsus4 Dsus9 D Dsus9 Dsus4 Dsus9
Tears...
D Dsus9 Dsus4 Dsus9 D Dsus9 Dsus4 Dsus9 D
Tears...
