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
