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