Deep Freeze

Key: D Minor
Tempo: 70 BPM – slow, sultry groove with chill electric piano,
distant reverb, and icy textures Style: Soul/R&B ballad with
cold, cinematic atmosphere

[Verse 1]

Dm – Gm – C – F
I used to feel you in the midnight air
Warm like whispers runnin' through my hair
But now you’re staring like you see right through
And the girl I loved—she ain’t in the room

Bb – C – Dm
I touch your hand, but there’s no spark
Just frostbite words in the cold and dark

[Chorus]

F – C – Dm – Bb
You're in a deep freeze, baby, and I can’t thaw you
Every move I make just seems to haunt you
Tried fire, tried tears, tried beggin’ on my knees
But you’re locked in love’s deep freeze

F – C – Dm – Bb
I gave you summer, you gave me snow
We’re sleepin’ side by side, but feelin’ solo
Is it over, or just a winter tease?
Tell me how to break this deep freeze

[Verse 2]

Dm – Gm – C – F
Used to melt when I’d say your name
Now it echoes back, never sounds the same
I replay laughter like a vinyl spin
But that warmth ain’t comin’ back again

Bb – C – Dm
Girl, this silence has a sharp, cold sting
Like love got lost in the winds of spring

[Chorus]

F – C – Dm – Bb
You're in a deep freeze, baby, and I can’t thaw you
Every move I make just seems to haunt you
Tried fire, tried tears, tried beggin’ on my knees
But you’re locked in love’s deep freeze

F – C – Dm – Bb
You used to hold me like the world could stop
Now you turn away like the love just dropped
I’m trapped in the chill of a memory
Frozen here inside this deep freeze

[Bridge]

Gm – Dm – Bb – C
I light the candles, but they won’t stay lit
I play our song, but you won’t sing it
Your heart's in storage, packed up tight
While I’m still burning every night

[Final Chorus – softer, more emotional]

F – C – Dm – Bb
You're in a deep freeze, baby, and I can’t thaw you
Every whisper now just falls right through
I’d do anything, just give me the keys
Or leave me here in your deep freeze

[Outro – Fade into silence]

Dm – Gm – C – Dm
(Whispered)
So cold… so gone…
But I still hold on…
