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         Gmaj 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

    Gmaj 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

     Gmaj 7            A

>From attack during the groundswell

     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

       Gmaj 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       Gmaj 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

  Gmaj 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

     Gmaj 7            A

>From attack during the groundswell

     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

       Gmaj 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                      Gmaj 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

    Gmaj 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

     Gmaj 7            A

>From attack during the groundswell

     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

       Gmaj 7          Bm A  Bm A

Is to keep my heart on ice
