C She ran until her face was numb with cold and F Am Wore a cotton gown that blazed the night untold. C She ran until her feet refused to hold F Am So heavy a heart for someone merely ten years old. C F And when she reached the river her knees began to shiver, Am F Her head with pounding voices from home. C F Behind her was a vision, a painful apparition Am F Dm7 Of a darker world that no-one should know. Dm7 F Am G Somebody's bed will never be warm again, F Am Dm7 The river will keep this friend. Dm7 F Am G Yeah somebody's bed will never be warm again, Em No never again. C She dived beneath the water's icy skin, F Am Hoping the cold would kill the smell of angry gin, C Her eyes grew wider than they'd ever been F Am Just wishing the numbness to cut deeper with its pins. C F And as her body lay there she decided to stay there Am F Till darkness came to pull her away. C F And beautifully she sank as up river was the bank Am F Dm7 Where some bodiless troubles would stay. Dm7 F Am G Somebody's bed will never be warm again, F Am Dm7 The river will keep this friend. Dm7 F Am G Yeah somebody's bed will never be warm again, Em Dm7 No never again. Dm7 F Am G Somebody's bed will never be warm again, F Am Dm7 The river will keep this friend. Dm7 F Am G Yeah somebody's bed will never be warm again, Em No never again.
