Capo on the first fret All verses follow the same chord structure G On the quiet night I met you the wind swam through your hair C C/B Am It was dancing at my eyelids and I know you saw me there G C C/B Am I was standing in the lowlight as you sang into the room Em G C G and I was lonely as a tombstone you were holy as a tomb On the night I met your lover he held his body close He knew my bones were howling but I blamed it on a ghost I chose my words like sunday dress my truth could not be found But the truth is I will take his love and lay her body down (Violin Solo for one verse) On the frigid night I met you I tried to hold my tongue My body was evoked with the weakness of the young I felt our heat connecting through the thick haze of the room I was lonely as a tombstone you were holy as a tomb On the night I left my lover he held his head down low My skin was cold and silver but I blamed it on the snow I slept beside the fire but the warmth will not be found Till you take me in your sun kissed arms and lay my body down
