Intro
Verse 1→ Phiên khúc
ch]F[/ch
Back in 1957
ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
We had to dance a foot apart
ch]Am7[/ch
And they hawk-eyed us from the sidelines
ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
Holding their rulers without a heart
ch]F[/ch
And so with just a touch of our fingers
ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
Ah, it could make our circuitry explode
ch]Am7[/ch
All we ever wanted
ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
Was just to come in from the cold
ch]C[/ch
Come in
ch]Am7[/ch
Come in from the cold
ch]G[/ch
We were so young
ch]C[/ch
Oh come in
ch]Am7[/ch
Come in from the cold
Verse 2→ Phiên khúc
ch]F[/ch
We really thought we had a purpose
ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
We were so anxious to achieve
ch]Am7[/ch
We had hope
ch]Am7[/ch
The world held promise
ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
For a slave to liberty
ch]F[/ch
Freely I slaved away for something better
ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
And I was bought and sold
ch]Am7[/ch
And all I ever wanted
ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
Was just to come in from the cold
ch]C[/ch
Come in
ch]Am7[/ch
Come in from the cold
ch]G[/ch
We were so sure
ch]C[/ch
Oh come in
ch]Am7[/ch
Come in from the cold
Verse 3→ Phiên khúc
ch]F[/ch
I feel your legs under the table
ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
Leaning into mine
ch]Am7[/ch
I feel renewed
ch]Am7[/ch
I feel disabled
ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
By these bonfires in my spine
ch]F[/ch
I don't know who the arsonist was
ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
Which incendiary soul
ch]Am7[/ch
But all I ever wanted
ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
Was just to come in from the cold
ch]C[/ch
Come in
ch]Am7[/ch
Come in from the cold
ch]G[/ch
You were too warm
ch]C[/ch
Oh come in
ch]Am7[/ch
Come in from the cold
Verse 4→ Phiên khúc
ch]F[/ch
I am not some stone commission
ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
Like a statue in a park
ch]Am7[/ch
I am flesh and blood and vision
ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
I am howling in the dark
ch]F[/ch
Long blue shadows of the jackals
ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
Are falling on a pay phone by the road
ch]Am7[/ch
Oh, all they ever wanted
ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
Was just to come in from the cold
ch]C[/ch
Come in
ch]Am7[/ch
Come in from the cold
ch]Am7[/ch
I was so low
ch]C[/ch
Oh come in
ch]Am7[/ch
Come in from the cold
Verse 5→ Phiên khúc
ch]F[/ch
Is this just vulgar electricity
ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
Is this the edifying fire
ch]C[/ch
It was so pure
ch]Am7[/ch
Does your smile's covert complicity
ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
Debase as it admires
ch]C[/ch
Just a flu with a temperature
ch]F[/ch
Are you just checking out your mojo
ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
Or am I just fighting off growing old
ch]G[/ch
Just a high fever
ch]Am7[/ch
All I ever wanted
ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
Was just to come in from the cold
ch]C[/ch
Come in
ch]Am7[/ch
Come in from the cold
ch]G[/ch
It was so pure
ch]C[/ch
Please come in
ch]C[/ch
Oh come in
ch]Am7[/ch
Come in from the cold
Verse 6→ Phiên khúc
ch]F[/ch
I know we never will be perfect
ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
Never entirely clear
ch]C[/ch
When the moon shines
ch]Am7[/ch
We get hurt and we just panic
ch]G[/ch
And we strike out
ch]C[/ch
Out of fear
ch]C[/ch
You were only being kind
ch]F[/ch
I fear the sentence of this solitude
ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
Two hundred years on hold
ch]C[/ch
For my loving crime
ch]Am7[/ch
Oh and all we ever wanted
ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
Was just to come in from the cold
ch]C[/ch
Come in
ch]Am7[/ch
Come in from the cold
ch]Am7[/ch
When the moon shines
ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
Oh come in
ch]Am7[/ch
Come in from the cold
Verse 7→ Phiên khúc
ch]F[/ch
When I thought life had some meaning
ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
Then I thought I had some choice
ch]C[/ch
I was running blind
ch]Am7[/ch
And I made some value judgments
ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
In a self-important voice
ch]C[/ch
I was outta' line, outta line
ch]F[/ch
But then absurdity came over me
ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
And I longed to lose control
ch]C[/ch
Into no mind
ch]Am7[/ch
Oh all I ever wanted
ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
Was just to come in from the cold
ch]C[/ch
Come in
ch]Am7[/ch
Come in from the cold
ch]Am7[/ch
Come in
ch]G[/ch
You were so kind
ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
Please come in
ch]C[/ch
So kind
ch]Am7[/ch
Come in from the cold
ch]Am7[/ch
Come in come in
ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
Come in from the cold
ch]C[/ch
Come in come in
ch]Am7[/ch
Come in from the cold
ch]Am7[/ch
Come in, come in
ch]G[/ch
I was so low
ch]G[/ch
Come in, come in
ch]C[/ch
Come in, come in, come in, come in
ch]Am7[/ch
Coming from the cold
