Dm            C                    G 
It's cold outside, the night love died

That a broken heart, girl 
Dm                  C    G 
Ain't a thing you collect

Close your eyes and say

Nothing lasts a day

You're wasting my time 
    C

Didn't use a blade 
Dm             C  G 
A bullet or a gun 
Dm                 C 
You poisoned the moonlight 
Dm                    C  G 
When you put out the sun

Close your eyes and say

Nothing lasts a day
