E
All the waters run out

And you sit there wet
A
There's a high-speed chase

On the TV set
E
And I think to myself-
              B
"Why hate the winter?"

E
The fireplace glows

On the snow outside
A
You've a towel around your head

Words in your eyes
E
They're the words I would say
              B
If only I was braver


[Chorus]
A                 E
But it's much too cold
A                     B
To run like a dog all alone
A
So come to my side
E                          B
And snuggle with me in the blanket
A
Don't offer your love
       B                          E
'Cause I'm not the one who should take it


[Verse]
E
I'll batten the doors and the windows too
A
The radioman says it's negative two
E
And then he puts on the song
                              B
That just wouldn't fit in the summer

E
Your body it sways it's so fragile and bare
A
You say "Won't you come here and play in my hair?"
E
But I still like a tree
           B
Taken by a shiver


[Chorus]
A                 E
And it's much too cold
A                     B
To run like a dog all alone
A
So come to my side
E                          B
And snuggle with me in the blanket
A
Don't offer your love
       E                          B
'Cause I'm not the one who should take it


[Bridge]

[Verse]
E
Floorboards are quiet

And cold to the feet
A
And I cry like a child

'Cause you've gone to sleep
E
And I'd give you my soul
                       B
If it wasn't that of a sinner

E
You are no virgin Mary

No angel so clean
A
And there's no telling all of

The damage you've seen
E
But your skin makes for me
                   B
A warm screaming reminder


[Chorus]
A                 E
But it's much too cold
A                 E
To run like a dog all alone
A
So come to my side
E                          B
And snuggle with me in the blanket
A
Don't offer your love
B                              E
'Cause I'm not a man who could take it
