COLD KISSES
Richard Thompson
Em
Here I am in your room going through your stuff.
G/F# G D Em
Said you'd be gone five minutes, that's time enough.
Em
Here in your drawer there's lacy things;
G/F# G D Em
Old credit cards, beads, bangles and rings.
Am G
But I think I've found what I'm looking for
Am G
Hidden away at the back of the drawer;
G/F# Em
Here's the life that you led before.
Em
Old photographs of the life you led,
G/F# G D Em
Arm in arm with Mr X, Y and Z.
Old boyfriends, big and small;
G/F# G D Em
Got to see how I measure up to them all.
Bm A A/G
There is a place we all must start, love.
Bm A G Em
Who were you holding in that fond embrace?
Bm A A/G
I've found a door into your heart, love,
Em D C Em
And do you still feel the warmth of Cold Kisses?
Em
Here I am behind enemy lines
G/F# G D Em
Looking for secrets, looking for signs.
Em
Old boyfriends big and small,
G/F# G D Em
Got to see how I measure up to them all.
Am G
This one's handsome, not too bright;
Am G
This one's clever with his hands alright,
G/F# Em
Tougher than me if it came to a fight.
Am G
This one's a poet, bit of a wet,
Am G
A bit of a gypsy, a bit of a threat.
G/F# Em
I wonder if she's got over him yet
Bm A A/G
Old passions frozen in the second;
Bm A G Em
Who were you holding in that fond embrace?
Bm A A/G
Hearts have a past that must be reckoned,
Em D C Em
And do you still feel the warmth of cold kisses?
Em
Time to put the past away,
G/F# G D Em
That's your footstep in the street I'd say.
Em
Tie the ribbon back around it,
G/F# G D Em
Everything just the way I found it.
Am G
I can hear you turn the key
Am G
And my head's buried when you see me
G/F# Em
In a Margaret Millar mystery.
Em D C Em
And do you still feel the warmth of Cold Kisses?
Em D C Em
Do you still feel the warmth of Cold Kisses?

This time I'm not going to print out the words, but it should be easy to
figure out where the changes come.
