    Verse 1
    She 
    ran 
    until 
    her 

    face 
    was numb 
    with 
    cold 
    and 

    Wore 
    a cot
    ton 
    gown 
    that 

    blazed 
    the night 
    untold. 

    She 
    ran 
    until 
    her 
    feet 
    refused 
    to 
    hold 

    So 
    heavy 
    a heart 
    for 
    someone 

    merely 
    ten 
    years 
    old. 

    And 
    when 
    she 
    reached 
    the 
    river 

    her knees 
    began 
    to shiver, 

    Her 
    head 
    with 
    pounding 
    voices 
    from 
    home. 

    Be
    hind 
    her 
    was 
    a vision, 

    a painful 
    apparition 

    Of 
    a 
    darker 
    world 
    that no-one 
    should 

    Verse 2
    should 
    know. 


    Somebody's 
    bed 
    will 
    never 

    be 
    warm 
    again, 

    The 
    river 
    will 
    keep 
    this 
    friend. 


    Yeah somebody's 
    bed 
    will 

    never 
    be 
    warm 
    again, 

    No 
    never 
    again. 

    Verse 3

    She 
    dived 
    beneath 
    the water's 
    icy 
    skin, 


    Hoping 
    the cold 
    would 
    kill the 

    smell 
    of 
    angry 
    gin, 

    And 
    her 
    eyes 
    grew 
    wider 

    than they'd 
    ever 
    been 

    Just 
    wishing 
    the 
    numbness 
    to 

    cut deeper 
    with 
    its 
    pins. 

    And 
    as 
    her 
    body 
    lay 
    there 
    she 

    decided 
    to stay 
    there 

    Till 
    darkness 
    came 
    to 
    pull 
    her 
    away. 

    And 
    beautifully 
    she sank 
    as 

    up 
    river 
    was 
    the 
    bank 

    Where 
    some 
    bodiless 
    troubles 
    would 

    stay. 

    Verse 4

    Somebody's 
    bed 
    will 
    never 

    be 
    warm 
    again, 

    The 
    river 
    will 
    keep 
    this 
    friend. 


    Yeah somebody's 
    bed 
    will 

    never 
    be 
    warm 
    again, 

    Interlude 1
    No 
    never 
    again. 



    Verse 5
    Somebody's 
    bed 
    will 
    never 

    be warm 
    again, 

    The 
    river 
    will 
    keep 
    this 
    friend. 


    Yeah somebody's 
    bed 
    will 

    never 
    be 
    warm 
    again, 

    No 
    never 
    again.

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
