Verse 1
Forty (G major) winters,
(D major) cold and dark (G major)
Sur (D major) round you (A major) like a (E minor) beauty (G major) mark (D major)
(G major) A tilt on the ac (D major) cesses,
(G major) that time of year (B minor)
And the (G major) flesh of your cheekbones
(D major) says (G major) "No dam (D major) age here"
The (G major) first time I saw (D major) you,
there was (G major) ice on the ground (D major)
And the girl in the green (G major) house (D major) said,
"Paradis (G major) (D major) e found"

Verse 5
(G major) Why can't I break the spell,
shake (F sharp minor) you and make you well?
(B minor) What is it blinding me that (A major) keeps
you (D major) from finding me?

It's like I'm (G major) trapped 'neath the bell
jar (D major) as (G major) big as the earth (D major)
And I'm (G major) running to reach (D major) you
(G major) for all that I'm worth (D major)
I'll (G major) bathe you and feed (D major) you,
and I'll tend (G major) to your grace (D major)
But (G major) don't make me leave
(D major) you in such (G major) a dark (D major) place

(D major)
I'm (G major) drunk on the bit (D major) terness
that sorrow demands
And I know that tomorrow

And I'll love you forever,
'cause (G major) that's all I know (D major) about
