Come In From The Cold Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[F][C]
[F]

[Verse 1]
Back [F]in 1957
We had to [G]dance a foot [C]apart
And they hawk-eyed us us
[G]from the side[Am]lines
Holding their [G]rulers without [C]a heart
And so with [F]just a touch of our fingers
I could [G]make our circuitry [C]explode
All we ever [Am]wanted
Was just to [G]come in from [C]the cold

[Verse 2]
Come in (come in, come [C]in, come in)
Oh, come in from the [Am]cold
(We were so young[G])
[C]Uh come in (come in, come in,
come in, come in)
Come in from the [Am]cold
We [C]really

[Verse 3]
[F]thought we had a purpose
We [G]were so anxious to [C]achieve
We had [Am]hope
The world held promise
For [G]a slave to liber[C]ty
Freely I [F]slaved away
for something [C]better[G]
And I was bought and [C]sold
And all I ever [Am]wanted
Was just [G]to come in from
[C]the cold

[Verse 4]
(Come in, come in, come [C]in, come in)
Come in from the cold
[Am](Come in, come in)
(We were so sure)
[G]Who's coming in [C]now (come in,
come in, come in, come in)
Come in from the cold
[Am]

[Verse 5]
[G]I feel your [F]legs under the [G]table
Leaning into [C]mine
I feel [Am]renewed
I feel disabled
By these [G]bonfires in [C]my spine
I [F]don't know who the arsonist [G]was
Which incendiary [C]soul
But all [G]I e[Am]ver wanted
Was just [G]to come in from
[C]the cold

[Verse 6]
(Come in, come in, come [C]in, come in)
Come in from the cold [Am](come in,
come in)
(You were too warm)
[G]Please [C]come in (come in,
come in, come in)
Come in from the cold
[Am]

[Verse 7]
[C]I am n[F]ot some stone commission
Like [G]a statue in [C]a park
I am flesh and [Am]blood and vision
I am [G]howling in the [C]dark
Long [F]blue shadows of the jackals
Are falling on a [G]pay phone by [C]the road
Oh all they [G]ever [Am]wanted
Was just [G]to come in from
[C]the cold

[Verse 8]
(Come in, come [C]in, come in, come in)
Come in from the cold
[Am](I was so low)
Oh, [G]come [C]in (come in, come in,
come in, come in)
Come in from the cold
[Am]

[Verse 9]
Is [G]this just [F]vulgar electricity
Is this the [G]edifying [C]fire
(It was so pure)
Does your [Am]smile's covert complicity
De[G]base as it ad[C]mires
(Just a flu with a temperature)
Are you just [F]checking out your mojo
(Oh oh)
Or am I just [G]fighting off
growing [C]old
(Just a high fever)
[G]All I ever [Am]wanted
Was just to [G]come in from
[C]the cold

[Verse 10]
(Come in, come in, come [C]in, come in)
Come in from the [Am]cold
(It was so pure)
Please [G]come in [C](come in,
come in, come in, come in)
Come in from the cold
[Am]

[Verse 11]
[G]I know we [F]never will be [G]perfect
Never entirely [C]clear
(When the moon shines)
We get [Am]hurt and we just panic
And [G]we strike out
Out of [C]fear
(You were only being kind)
I fear [F]the sentence of this solitude
[G]Two hundred years on hol[C]d
(For my loving crime)
Oh and [G]all we [Am]ever wanted
Was just [G]to come in from the [C]cold

[Verse 12]
(Come in) Come in (come in,
[C]
come in, come in)
Come in from the cold [Am](come in,
come in)
(When the moon shines)
Oh [G]come [C]in (come in, come in,
come in, come in)
Come in from the cold
[Am]

[Verse 13]
[C]When [F]I thought life had some meaning
Then I [G]thought I had some
[C]choice
(I was running blind)
And I made some [Am]value judgments
In [G]a self-important voice
[C](I was outa line)
But then ab[F]surdity came over me
And I [G]longed to lose con[C]trol
(Into no mind)
Oh all I ever [Am]wanted
Was just [G]to come in from
[C]the cold

[Verse 14]
(Come in, come in, come [C]in, come in)
Oh, come [G]in from the [Am]cold (come in,
come in)
(You were so kind)
[G]Please come [C]in (come in,
come in, come in, come in)
Come in from [Am]the cold
(Come in, come in)
[G]Oh come in[C], come in
(Come in, come in,
come in, come in)
Come in from the [Am]cold
Come [G]in, come [C]in
(I was so low)
Come in, come in (come in, come [G]in,
[Am]come[G] in,[C] come in)
Coming [Am]from the cold
