Verse 1: 0:12
 G                     G/F#
Baby, we can talk all night,

  But that ain't getting us nowhere.
0:24
G               G/F#          Em
  I've told you ev'rything I possibly can;
C/D                       D
  There's nothing left inside of here.
0:36
     G                     G/F#
And maybe you can cry all night,
      C                       G
But that'll never change the way that I feel.
0:48
G              G/F#         Em
  The snow is really piling up outside;

I wish you wouldn't make me leave here.

C
  I poured it on
    D  G        Am7 G/B
And I poured it out,
C
  I tried to show you
 D        G      Am7 G/B
Just how much I care.
1:12
C
  I'm tired of words
    D        G          Em
And I'm too hoarse to shout,
F
  But you've been cold to me so long,
           C                   D
I'm crying icicles instead of tears.

And all I can do

Is keep on telling you,

I want you, (I want you,)
   Em
I need you (I need you,)
          C         D
But there ain't no way
    Bm          Em
I'm ever gonna love you.

Now don't be sad, (don't be sad, 'cause)

You'll never find your gold

On a sandy beach.

You'll never drill for oil
D     G          Am
On a city street.
2:26
    G/B        C
I know you're looking for a ruby
D     G           C/G
In a mountain of rocks,
 G        F
But there ain't no Coupe de Ville hiding
                     D!
At the bottom of a Cracker Jack box.
2:45
Bm
  I can't lie, (I can't lie,)
                           C
I can't tell you that I'm something I'm not,
    C
No matter how I try.

And that was   so many years ago.

She never loved me back, ooh, I know.

Well, I remember how she left me
       G/B
On a stormy night,

And got out of our bed.

Not to walk out that door,

She packed her bags
                   D
And turned right away.
