  			A            E           A    E 
Froze to the bone in my igloo home 
A            E             A   E     A      E  A  E  
Counting the days 'til the ice turns green 
    A         E          A      E 
You know when Heaven and hell collide 
      A  E  A  E   A     E 
There are no in-betweens  
 
Chorus: 
C              E       C         E 
Flames on your skin of snow turn cold 
C           E          C            E   C        (E) 
Cold as the wind that blows through my headstone 
 
Break:  Bb  C Em (3x)   D  Bm (3X) 
 
Collecting the bones of my friends tonight 
Sowing the seeds in a fruitless land 
You know when prayers all hit the ground 
There is no higher hand 
 
Chorus 
 
I'm the yo-yo man, always up and down 
So take me to the end of your tether 
 
Chorus, Break and fade
