G D C


[Verse]
D
  When the feeling leaves you
A
  It moves so slow
C                                       G
  Like the loose change from your front pocket
G                        D
You don't even feel it go

Dm
  When the bitter creeps in
A
  To bite you whole
C                      G
A spectre unreflected, oh
E                 D
It keeps you cold


[Instrumental]
E A D C G D C G D

         Dm
When you keep your linens

Like virgin snow
C
  Like a blanket of white
  G
Unbroken by the soil below

F
  The sound don't carry
Am
  Won't rise or fall
D                      Em
  It damps the racket, chokes it back

A strangle hold

   C   Em
Ah-ooh
   A   D
Ah-ooh
   C
Ah-ooh


[Instrumental]
C G A#maj7 Fmaj7 Am G

F
  You paved your Hades
Am
  With precious stone
G
  Made an heirloom to patricians

And the rich alone

Dm
  And the toll for crossing
Am
  I'd owe Charon
D                 Em
  Would atrophy a half of me
    Bm                C
The heart of gold, ah-ooh

          C
Well, I'm not quite ready
Em
  To turn to bone
A          D
  To petrify the shred of life

I'm holding onto

C                       D
  There's no peace to upset
E       Em
  That spirit's flown
A                      D
  This ossified philosophizing's
        E
Getting old
