Tone: [F]
Verse 1:
A joy, hard learned in winter was the[Ebm7]the warming of the bed
[Ab7] You'd shake for minutes there and [Db]move your legs
Wrap the blanket over you and [F7]keep your head within
Let your breath heat the air until you’d [Gb]feel it getting thin
Chorus:
'Uiscef[Ebm7]'Uiscefhuaraithe'
[Ab7] The feel of coldness [Db]only water brings
There are some things that no one [F7]teaches you, love
That come natural as a [Bbm]dream you didn’t [Abm]know that [Gb]you were in
Post-chorus:
But darlin’, [Db]all my dreamin' is only been put to shame
And darlin', [Gb]all my dr[Gbm]dreamin' has [Bbm]only been [F7]given a [Bbm]name [Ab] [Db]
But it happened [Ebm7]easy, darlin’
As [Ab]natural as another leg around you in the [Db]bed frame
Verse 2:
In summer's heat, I learned to drea[Ebm7]dread the comin' of the night
[Ab7] The awful things we do to [Db]make the head go quiet
You’d press your body to the [F7]concrete when you were small
[Am] The rains of winter seemed to never [Gb]leave the walls
Chorus:
'Ui[Ebm7]'Uiscefhuaraithe' [Ab7]
The feel of coolness [Gb]only [Db]water brings
There are some things that no-one [F7]teaches you, love
That God in his aw[Bbm]ful wisdom[Abm] first program[Gb]s in
Post-chorus:
But darlin’, [Db]all my dreamin' is only been put to shame
And darlin', [Gb]all my dr[Gbm]dreamin[Gb]eamin' has [Bbm]only been [F7]given a [Bbm]name [Ab] [Db]
But it happened [Ebm7]easy, darlin’
As [Ab]natural as another leg around you in the [F7]bed
Bridge:
And I wish I could say
That the river of my [Gb]arms have found the ocean
[Ab] I wish I could say the [Bbm]cold lake [Fm]water of my [Db]heart
[Ebm7]Christ, it's bo[F]boilin' o[Gb]over
Outro:
But it [F]happened [Ebm7]easy, darlin'
[Ab]Natural as another leg around you in the bed [Gb]frame [Db]
