Heart On Ice

As    I [Bm]sit in the [A]all night [Bm]dine[A]r
You re[Bm]turn to your [A]easy [Bm]cha[A]ir
You a[Bm]wake to your w[A]ork and your [Bm]woma[A]n
         [Bm]              [A]         [G] 7
And I'll dream that it's me lying there
You can l[Bm]ook in my [A]eyes but you'll [Bm]never [A]know
There's  an [Bm]ache insi[A]de that I [Bm]never s[A]how
    [G] 7
A defensive device
Meant to keep my [A]heart on [Bm]ice[A]   [Bm]      [A]
I [Bm]keep my h[A]eart on [Bm]ice [A]I [Bm]chill my [A]holy [Bm]sou[A]l
I [Bm]shield my [A]fragile [Bm]eggshell love
     [G] 7            [A]
>From attack during the groundswell
I'll [Bm]act the [A]part so [Bm]well[A] I'll [Bm]play my f[A]inest r[Bm]ole[A]
But the [Bm]furies [A]take their [Bm]toll and their price
       [G] 7          [Bm] [A]  [Bm] [A]
Is to keep my heart on ice
As    I [Bm]sit in the a[A]ll night [Bm]din[A]er
You leaned  [Bm]back in your [A]nightclub [Bm]sea[A]t
I went [Bm]out with two [A]friends and a s[Bm]trang[A]er
       [Bm]          [A]       [G] 7
With a laugh and a pang of defeat
But I [Bm]looked in your [A]eyes as I [Bm]turned to [A]go [Bm]
Was there [Bm]something [A]there that you [Bm]couldn't show
  [G] 7
A defensive device
Meant to [Bm]keep your [A]heart of [Bm]ice
You[Bm] keep your [A]heart on[Bm] ic[A]e y[Bm]ou chill [A]your [Bm]hol[A]y soul
You [Bm]shield your [A]fragile [Bm]eggshell love
     [G] 7            [A]
>From attack during the groundswell
You  [Bm]act the [A]part so [Bm]well y[A]ou'll [Bm]play your    f[A]inest r[Bm]ole  [A]
But the [Bm]furies [A]take their [Bm]toll and their price
       [G] 7          [Bm]  [A]   [Bm]  [A]
Is to keep my heart on ice
As    I [Bm]sit in the [A]all night [Bm]dine[A]r
I was [Bm]thinking of [A]you at the [Bm]bar[A]
And the [Bm]smiles and the [A]jests and the [Bm]whis[A]pers
     [Bm]                      [G] 7
As I watched once again from afar
But I [Bm]looked in your[A] eyes and I [Bm]never [A]knew
Did I [Bm]read you [A]wrong did I m[Bm]iscons[A]true
    [G] 7                                   [Bm]
The defensive device I will keep my heart on ice
I [Bm]keep my h[A]eart on [Bm]ice [A]I [Bm]chill my [A]holy [Bm]sou[A]l
I [Bm]shield my [A]fragile [Bm]eggshell love
     [G] 7            [A]
>From attack during the groundswell
I'll [Bm]act the [A]part so [Bm]well[A] I'll [Bm]play my f[A]inest r[Bm]ole[A]
But the [Bm]furies [A]take their [Bm]toll and their price
       [G] 7          [Bm] [A]  [Bm] [A]
Is to keep my heart on ice
