"Safe And Warm" - by Kristen Hall 1991 - from the CD "Fact And Fiction"  

Capo 2nd fret

The first chord (F#7sus4/5+) has a long name but it's really just a Bm with
the high E left open: x24430   SO I think for space we'll refer to it as a Bm

Bm  E  G  F#m  repeat until chorus
 
     Bm                       E
It's pointless to think about turning back now

           G                   F#m
There's no way to save what is gone

        Bm              E
There's no need to lie, no need to cry

       G           F#m
And no way to stay safe and warm


The porchlight was left til morning each night
Tears always followed the dawn
There's no compromising, it's not so surprising
We lost what was safe and warm

Chorus:

C   D                      C
    Although I cried in my sleep

D                    C
Somehow I felt so relieved

      D        A 
To be free of pain

C   D                       C
    Think how excited we'll be

D                      C
Think how delighted to see

    D           A
And breathe new life


Concrete dividers block the outsiders
Whose words we interpret as harm
They're weapons we've used and often abused
To destroy what was safe and warm

Bittersweet memories of what we called love
Fly through my head in a swarm
I look back clench-fisted at how it got twisted
So far away from safe and warm
