THIN ICE
WORDS & MUSIC: Earl P. Reinhalter
INTRO: Am - Am/G - Am/F - Am/E - Dm - G - Dm - E [pause]
Am
I. each time you hurt me,
Am/G
you give me a choice -
Am/F Am/E
to swallow my pride
Dm - E
or raise my voice.
Am
the moment soon passes.
Am/G
I don't make a fuss.
Am/F Am/E
I don't want a thing
Dm - G - Dm - E
to come between us.
C
each little battle,
Edim
you think you're the winner.
Dm G Dm
the ice that you stand on
E Am
only gets thinner.
---------REPEAT INTRO ---------
Am
II. the scars that you gave me
Am/G
are painfully raw,
Am/F Am/E
my bandage of hay
Dm - E
from every last straw.
Am
there isn't much more
Am/G
of you I can take.
Am/F Am/E
you are the skater,
Dm - G - Dm - E
I am the lake.
C
sunshine is broken
Edim
by lightning and thunder.
Dm G
ice begins cracking,
Dm E Am [pause]
and you go under.
INSTRUMENTAL: Am - Am/G - Am/F - Am/E - Dm - G - Dm - E [quiet strumming]
Am - Am/G - Am/F - Am/E - Dm - E [repeat 3x with guitar solo]
Am [quiet strumming, continue under vocal]
Am
ENDING: when you stopped breathing
Am/G
and you turned blue,
Am/F E Am
part of me died, too.
