G
Freeze
                                 G
I see the way you're lookin' at me
     C                 G
Like I owe you an apology
C
No, not this time
G
Hey
     C                            G
I've had enough of havin' it your way
         C                 G
It could all be overcome today
C
Baby I can't lie


[Chorus]
G
You're walkin' on thin ice
C
You're walkin' that fine, fine line
G
You're takin' my sweet time
C
Like it ain't crossed your mind
G                    C
That it could up and break
G                      C G
And you'd be floatin' away
N.C.                      G  C  G  C
You're walkin' on thin ice

            G
Just so you know
C                        G
Cold, cold water's gonna flow
       C
And if you don't patch the cracks
          G
I'm gonna go
            C
On down the road
C
Cause


[Chorus]
G
You're walkin' on thin ice

You're walkin' that fine, fine line

You're takin' my sweet time
C
Like it ain't crossed your mind

That it could up and break
G                      C
And you'd be floatin' away
G                         C
You're walkin' on thin ice
C
Thin ice


[Bridge]
Em           D/F#        C
It's gettin' clearer and clearer to see
Em         D/F#  C
All of the other fish in the sea

How to play Thin Ice: key, chords and progression

Thin Ice by Hudson Westbrook is built around G major (one sharp: F♯), with 4 chords in all: G, C, Em and D/F#.

Most of the song cycles through C – Em – D/F# – C (IV – vi – V – IV in G major). In solfa, that is fah – lah – soh – fah. Get these 4 changes smooth and the rest comes quickly.

Beginner-friendly: on guitar every chord is an open shape, which makes this a good song to learn early on.
