Em 
Here I am in your room going through your stuff. 

              G/F#      G        D           Em 
Said you'd be gone five minutes, that's time enough. 

Em 
Here in your drawer there's lacy things; 

           G/F#   G      D           Em 
Old credit cards, beads, bangles and rings. 

      Am                        G 
But I think I've found what I'm looking for 

Am                 G 
Hidden away at the back of the drawer; 

           G/F#          Em 
Here's the life that you led before. 




Em 
Old photographs of the life you led, 

       G/F#        G  D     Em 
Arm in arm with Mr X, Y and Z. 


Old boyfriends, big and small; 

       G/F#      G       D          Em 
Got to see how I measure up to them all. 


Bm                           A      A/G 
There is a place we all must start, love. 

Bm                           A    G  Em 
Who were you holding in that fond embrace? 

Bm                          A      A/G 
I've found a door into your heart, love, 

Em               D        C              Em 
And do you still feel the warmth of Cold Kisses? 


Em               
Here I am behind enemy lines 
        G/F#            G       D      Em 
Looking for secrets, looking for signs. 
Em 
Old boyfriends big and small, 
        G/F#      G             D       Em       
Got to see how I measure up to them all. 
Am                      G 
This one's handsome, not too bright; 
Am                      G 
This one's clever with his hands alright, 
G/F#                            Em               
Tougher than me if it came to a fight. 
Am                      G 
This one's a poet, bit of a wet, 
Am                      G 
A bit of a gypsy, a bit of a threat. 
G/F#                    Em 
I wonder if she's got over him yet 

Bm              A               A/G 
Old passions frozen in the second; 
Bm                              A   G   Em       
Who were you holding in that fond embrace? 
Bm              A               A/G 
Hearts have a past that must be reckoned, 
Em              D          C               Em            
And do you still feel the warmth of cold kisses? 

Em       
Time to put the past away, 
G/F#            G               D       Em 
That's your footstep in the street I'd say. 
Em                               
Tie the ribbon back around it, 
G/F#        G    D              Em                       
Everything just the way I found it. 
Am                      G 
I can hear you turn the key 
Am                         G 
And my head's buried when you see me 
     G/F#               Em 
In a Margaret Millar mystery. 

Em              D               C               Em       
And do you still feel the warmth of Cold Kisses? 
Em      D               C               Em               
Do you still feel the warmth of Cold Kisses?
