[Verse 1]
She [C]ran until her
face was numb with cold and
Wore a cot[F]ton gown that
blazed the night untold.
She [C]ran until her feet refused to hold
So heavy [F]a heart for someone
merely ten years old.
And [C]when she reached the river
her knees began to shiver,
Her [F]head with pounding voices from home.
Be[C]hind her was a vision,
a painful apparition
Of a [F]darker world that no-one should

[Verse 2]
should know.
[Dm]
Somebody's [Am]bed will never
be [F]warm [Dm]again,
The river will [Am]keep this friend.
[F][Dm]
Yeah somebody's [Am]bed will
never be [F]warm [Dm]again,
No never again.
[C][F]

[Verse 3]
[Dm][F]
She [C]dived beneath the water's icy skin,
Hoping [F]the cold would kill the
smell of angry gin,
And her [C]eyes grew wider
than they'd ever been
Just wishing the [F]numbness to
cut deeper with its pins.
And [C]as her body lay there she
decided to stay there
Till [F]darkness came to pull her away.
And [C]beautifully she sank as
up river was the bank
Where some [F]bodiless troubles would
[Am]stay.
[Dm][Em][F][Am]

[Verse 4]
[Dm]
Somebody's [Am]bed will never
be [F]warm [Dm]again,
The river will [Am]keep this friend.
[F][Dm]
Yeah somebody's [Am]bed will
never be [F]warm [Dm]again,

[Interlude 1]
No never again.
[C][Db][C][Db]
[Eb][F][Dm]

[Verse 5]
Somebody's [Am]bed will never
[F]be warm [Dm]again,
The river will [Am]keep this friend.
[F][Dm]
Yeah somebody's [Am]bed will
never be [F]warm [Dm]again,
No [C]never again.
