Shawn Colvin      Heart On Ice   written   by Judith Zweiman
Lucy Kaplanski


        Bm         A         Bm  A
As    I sit in the all night diner
      Bm           A    Bm A
You return to your easy chair
     Bm            A            Bm  A
You awake to your work and your woman
         Bm              A         G 7
And I'll dream that it's me lying there
         Bm        A               Bm    A
You can look in my eyes but you'll never know
            Bm       A         Bm     A
There's  an ache inside that I never show
    G 7
A defensive device
                 A        Bm A  Bm A
Meant to keep my heart on ice
  Bm       A       Bm  A Bm       A    Bm A
I keep my heart on ice I chill my holy soul
  Bm        A       Bm
I shield my fragile eggshell love
     G 7            A
     Bm      A       Bm  A     Bm       A      Bm A
I'll act the part so well I'll play my finest role
        Bm     A          Bm
But the furies take their toll and their price
       G 7          Bm A  Bm A
Is to keep my heart on ice
        Bm          A        Bm A
As    I sit in the all night diner
            Bm           A         Bm A
You leaned  back in your nightclub seat
       Bm           A              Bm   A
I went out with two friends and a stranger
       Bm          A       G 7
With a laugh and a pang of defeat
      Bm             A         Bm        A  Bm
But I looked in your eyes as I turned to go
          Bm        A              Bm
Was there something there that you couldn't show
  G 7
A defensive device
         Bm        A        Bm
Meant to keep your heart of ice
   Bm         A       Bm A  Bm       A    Bm A
You keep your heart on ice you chill your holy soul
    Bm          A       Bm
You shield your fragile eggshell love
     G 7            A
     Bm      A       Bm    A     Bm            A      Bm   A
You  act the part so well you'll play your    finest role
        Bm     A          Bm
But the furies take their toll and their price
       G 7          Bm  A   Bm  A
Is to keep my heart on ice
        Bm         A         Bm  A
As    I sit in the all night diner
      Bm          A          Bm A
I was thinking of you at the bar
        Bm             A             Bm  A
And the smiles and the jests and the whispers
     Bm                      G 7
As I watched once again from afar
      Bm            A           Bm    A
But I looked in your eyes and I never knew
      Bm       A            Bm    A
Did I read you wrong did I misconstrue
    G 7                                   Bm
The defensive device I will keep my heart on ice
  Bm       A       Bm  A Bm       A    Bm A
I keep my heart on ice I chill my holy soul
  Bm        A       Bm
I shield my fragile eggshell love
     G 7            A
     Bm      A       Bm  A     Bm       A      Bm A
I'll act the part so well I'll play my finest role
        Bm     A          Bm
But the furies take their toll and their price
       G 7          Bm A  Bm A
Is to keep my heart on ice
