[Verse]


     G     F#/G                Em              C            G      D
In a small town where all knew all, wondered a peasant lady nobody knew,
        G    F#/G               Em               C           G        D
But her only friend was a young boy, brought her hot tea and leftover stew,
        G        F#/G      Em                C                G            D
In those burnin' wintry Decembers, he'd pick dirty pennies up off the cold street,
              G          F#/G          Em             D     C       D             G
And while his mother was out Christmas shopping, he'd say, "Come on in, warm your feet."


G, D, C, D - (2X)


   G           F#/G          Em              C            G          D
As long as you share with me stories, so she spoke on the product of war,
   G            F#/G         Em              C          G            D
My mother never knew who she could be, as my father lay drunk on the floor,
        G            F#/G          Em                        C          G               D
And she spoke of the cart that she wheeled, had keys with no locks, and guitars with no stings,
      G                 F#/G      Em           D          C         D            G
and a puzzle that could never be finished, But this is my home, and these broken things are...

   boy went on to be taught....
   But officer, I fondly remember you..


(Bridge)


     G      F#/G        Em           D        C         D               G
They buried something inside of you, Officer, Into your cold heart, dig deep
D          G      D
And you'll see
          C       D
that it's me
              G   D                 C      D
And here I'll be,    nothing new to me
        G               F#/G      Em     C
I'll be heartbroken and cold, frozen and alone
   G            F#/G           Em          C
My coffin was a dumpster and I didn't even know
          G          F#/G            Em          C
But while out on the beat, he looked down to the street,
       G           F#/G        Em        C
and he saw a dirty penny heads up at hid feet
