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