[G] [C]
Her eyes and words are so icy, oh, but she burns

Like rum on a fire

Hot and fast and angry as she can be

I walk my days on a wire

With the arm of her brother

That she's not around most of the time

In the tide of her breathing

*****P.S.*****
A trick I have learned is to occasionally add your fourth finger to the third fret of the A string
when playing a G chord, to add a higher pitch on some words,
for example in the first line you may add it when playing "words" and then again on "oh, but".
If this is confusing just ignore it! Have fun! (:
