I was born in a city
Where the winter nights don't ever sleep
So this life's always with me
The ice inside my veins will never bleed

Chorus:
    Bm  Gmaj7 G6
Mah ooh
    Bm  Gmaj7 G6
Mah ooh

Uh, every time you try to fix me
I know you'll never find that missing piece
When you cry and say you miss me
I lie and tell you that I'll never leave, but
