G A
I've been waiting for you to come back
C G
since you left Minneapolis
D
Snow covers the streetlamps and the
C
windowsills
G D C G
The buildings and the brittle crooked trees
D G
Dead leaves of December thin skinned and
D
splintered
G D C
Never gotten used to this bitter winter
G A
I've been wasted angry and sad since you
C G
left Minneapolis
D
I wish my thoughts were pure like the
C
driven snow
G D
Like the heavens and the spring's virgin
C
buds
G D G
But they strangled me up with their sin
D G
fill me up with poison
D C
Black clouds have covered up the sun again
G A C
I can always trace it back to that night in
G
Minneapolis
D C
Here on the seventh floor in a room I can't
G
call mine
D C G
Deadbolt on the door do not disturb sign
D G
Shaking and trembling on the clean white
D
linen
G D
Slivers of starlight danced across the
C
ceiling
G A C
A dozen yellow roses all thats left in
G
Minneapolis
D C
I wish I'd never seen your face or heard
your voice
G D C
You're a bad pain in my gut I wanna spit
G
you out
D G
Open up this wound again let my blood flow
D G
red and thin
D G D G
Into the glistening into the whiteness
D C G
Into the melting snow of Minneapolis
