        Bm         A         Bm  A
As    I sit in the all night diner
      Bm           A    Bm A
You return to your easy chair
     Bm            A            Bm  A
You awake to your work and your woman
         Bm              A         Gmaj 7
And I'll dream that it's me lying there
         Bm        A               Bm    A
You can look in my eyes but you'll never know
            Bm       A         Bm     A
There's  an ache inside that I never show
    Gmaj 7
A defensive device
                 A        Bm A  Bm A
Meant to keep my heart on ice
  Bm       A       Bm  A Bm       A    Bm A
I keep my heart on ice I chill my holy soul
  Bm        A       Bm
I shield my fragile eggshell love
     Gmaj 7            A
From attack during the groundswell
     Bm      A       Bm  A     Bm       A      Bm A
I'll act the part so well I'll play my finest role
        Bm     A          Bm
But the furies take their toll and their price
       Gmaj 7          Bm A  Bm A
Is to keep my heart on ice
        Bm          A        Bm A
As    I sit in the all night diner
            Bm           A         Bm A
You leaned  back in your nightclub seat
       Bm           A              Bm   A
I went out with two friends and a stranger
       Bm          A       Gmaj 7
With a laugh and a pang of defeat
      Bm             A         Bm        A  Bm
But I looked in your eyes as I turned to go
          Bm        A              Bm
Was there something there that you couldn't show
  Gmaj 7
A defensive device
         Bm        A        Bm
Meant to keep your heart of ice
   Bm         A       Bm A  Bm       A    Bm A
You keep your heart on ice you chill your holy soul
    Bm          A       Bm
You shield your fragile eggshell love
     Gmaj 7            A
From attack during the groundswell
     Bm      A       Bm    A     Bm            A      Bm   A
You  act the part so well you'll play your    finest role
        Bm     A          Bm
But the furies take their toll and their price
       Gmaj 7          Bm  A   Bm  A
Is to keep my heart on ice
        Bm         A         Bm  A
As    I sit in the all night diner
      Bm          A          Bm A
I was thinking of you at the bar
        Bm             A             Bm  A
And the smiles and the jests and the whispers
     Bm                      Gmaj 7
As I watched once again from afar
      Bm            A           Bm    A
But I looked in your eyes and I never knew
      Bm       A            Bm    A
Did I read you wrong did I misconstrue
    Gmaj 7                                   Bm
The defensive device I will keep my heart on ice
  Bm       A       Bm  A Bm       A    Bm A
I keep my heart on ice I chill my holy soul
  Bm        A       Bm
I shield my fragile eggshell love
     Gmaj 7            A
From attack during the groundswell
     Bm      A       Bm  A     Bm       A      Bm A
I'll act the part so well I'll play my finest role
        Bm     A          Bm
But the furies take their toll and their price
       Gmaj 7          Bm A  Bm A
Is to keep my heart on ice

Lyrics - Tonight you'd better stop and rebuild all your ruins, For peace and trust can win the day in spite of all your losing. Ah, ah, We come from the land of the ice and snow, From the midnight sun where the hot springs blow. Hammer of the gods will drive our ships to new land, To fight the horde, sing and cry: Valhalla, I am coming! On we sweep with threshing oar, Our only goal will be the western shore. Ah, ah, We come from the land of the ice and snow, From the midnight sun where the hot springs blow. How soft your fields so green, can whisper tales of gore, Of how we calmed the tides of war. We are your overlords. On we sweep with threshing oar, Our only goal will be the western shore. Ah, ah, We come from the land of the ice and snow, From the midnight sun where the hot springs blow. Hammer of the gods will drive our ships to new land, To fight the horde, sing and cry: Valhalla, I am coming! On we sweep with threshing oar, Our only goal will be the western shore. So now you'd better stop and rebuild all your ruins, For peace and trust can win the day despite of all your losing.
