Well, I've been up to the mountain
Seen the ashes down below
I had breakfast with the wise man
He told me what he thought I should know


C                           G
And I've been to bed with Jezebel
    C                     Gsus G/D Gsus G/D
I found the well was deep

For a warmer place to sleep
There, I'd trade in my ambitions
For a warmer place to sleep
Kick it in one time, yeah

Well, I've seen the heart of darkness
Read the writing on the wall
And the voice out in the desert
Was the voice I heard out in the hall

C                      G
And once he called me Abel
C                          Gsus G/D
And once he called me Cain

And for forty days and forty nights
I slept out in the rain


[Bridge]

Girl, can you share your warm bed tonight
             G               Gsus G/D  Gsus G/D
I need to find a safe retreat

I need to find a warmer place to sleep

Well, I've rested in the devil's arms
I've chased the hounds of hell
I played truth or dare with the angels
And as far as I can tell

         C                      G
That a heart of gold ain't no better
          C                        Gsus G/D Gsus G/D
Than a heart torn from the streets
