[Intro]
Cmaj7 Fmaj7 Cmaj7 Fmaj7
[Verse 1]
Cmaj7
She ran until her face was numb with cold and
Fmaj7
Wore a cotton gown that blazed the night untold
Cmaj7
She ran until her feet refused to hold
Fmaj7
So heavy a heart for someone merely ten years old
Cmaj7
And when she reached the river her knees began to shiver
Fmaj7
Her head with pounding voices from home
Cmaj7
Behind her was a vision, a painful apparition
Fmaj7
Of a darker world that no—one should know
[Chorus]
Dm F Am Em F Dm
Somebody's bed will never be warm again
Em Am
The river will keep this friend
Dm F Am Em F Dm
Somebody's bed will never be warm again
Cmaj7 Fmaj7 Cmaj7 Fmaj7
No never again
[Verse 2]
Cmaj7
She dived beneath the water's icy skin
Fmaj7
Hoping the cold would kill the smell of angry gin
Cmaj7
And her eyes grew wider than they'd ever been
Fmaj7
Just wishing the numbness to cut deeper with its pins
Cmaj7
And as her body lay there she decided to stay there
Fmaj7
Till darkness came to pull her away
Cmaj7
And beautifully she sank as up river was the bank
Fmaj7
Where some bodiless troubles would stay
[Chorus]
Dm F Am Em F Dm
Somebody's bed will never be warm again
Em Am
The river will keep this friend
Dm F Am Em F Dm
Somebody's bed will never be warm again
Cmaj7 Fmaj7 Cmaj7 Fmaj7
No never again
[Chorus]
Dm F Am Em F Dm
Somebody's bed will never be warm again
Em Am
The river will keep this friend
Dm F Am Em F Dm
Somebody's bed will never be warm again
Cmaj7
No never again
Fmaj7
No never again
[Outro]
