B B/Bb
Norwegian coffee, meltin' mud,
G#m (G#7)
and then a winter that just lingers on,
C#m7
I'm wonderin' when enough is enough,
F# (F#7)
slippin' heating packets underneath your cuffs,
B B/Bb
And the time keeps plowin' on, it's a mart,
G#m (G#7)
and by 5 o clock it's already dark,
C#m7
I'm seein' you see everyone but me,
F# (F#7)
watchin' you get drunk, makes me wanna be.
[Chorus]
E/B B
Honey, be my little sun,
E/B B
when we ain't gettin' none,
F#
And cup your hands round a match,
G#m B
and fasten up your last
C#m7
jacket latch.
G#m7 C#m7
Stand and sway with me,
B
in the dark, cold loneliness, Marie.
[Verse 2]
B B/Bb
A familiar death is markin' miles,
G#m (G#7)
and there's a fleeting sense of restoration.
C#m7
The ice and snow left bruises on your knees,
F# (F#7)
and the heater's blowin', but it don't blow with ease,
B B/Bb
The months wont move, we are stuck,
G#m (G#7)
in the rollin' quiet of this little truck.
C#m7
White sand bags are weighin' down the back,
F# (F#7)
where the skeletons at Christmas, still lay in plastic sacks.
[Chorus 2]
E/B B
Honey, be my little sun,
E/B B
when we ain't gettin' none,
F#
And cup your hands round a match,
G#m B
and fasten up your last
C#m7
jacket latch.
G#m7 C#m7
Stand and sway with me,
B
in the dark, cold loneliness, Marie.
[Chorus 3]
E/B B
Honey, be my little sun,
E/B B
when we ain't gettin' none,
F#
And cup your hands round a match,
G#m B
and fasten up your last
C#m7
jacket latch.
G#m7 C#m7
Stand and sway with me,
B
in the dark, cold loneliness, Marie.
