(C major) (F major) (C major) (F major)
Verse 1
She (C major) ran until her
face was numb with cold and
Wore a cot (F major) ton gown that
blazed the night untold.
She (C major) ran until her feet refused to hold
So heavy a heart (F major) for someone
merely ten years old.
And (C major) when she reached the river
her knees began to shiver,
Her (F major) head with pounding voices from home.
Be (C major) hind her was a vision,
a painful apparition
Of a (F major) darker world that no-one should

Verse 2
should know.
(D minor)
Somebody's bed (A minor) will never
be warm (F major) again, (D minor)
The river will keep (A minor) this friend.
(F major) (D minor)
Yeah somebody's bed (A minor) will
never be warm (F major) (D minor) again,
No never again.
(C major) (F major)
Verse 3
(D minor) (F major)
She (C major) dived beneath the water's icy skin,
Hoping the cold (F major) would kill the
smell of angry gin,
And her (C major) eyes grew wider
than they'd ever been
Just wishing the (F major) numbness to
cut deeper with its pins.
And (C major) as her body lay there she
decided to stay there
Till (F major) darkness came to pull her away.
And (C major) beautifully she sank as
up river was the bank
Where some (F major) bodiless troubles would
(A minor) stay.
(D minor) (E minor) (F major) (A minor)
Verse 4
(D minor)
Somebody's bed (A minor) will never
be warm (F major) again, (D minor)
The river will keep (A minor) this friend.
(F major) (D minor)
Yeah somebody's bed (A minor) will
never be warm (F major) again, (D minor)

Somebody's bed (A minor) will never

never be warm (F major) again, (D minor)
No never (C major) again.
