Firewood

	  		
 

C 
The piano is not firewood yet 
F           C            Dm         G   
They try to remember but still they forget 
C 
That the heart beats in threes  
C 
Just like a waltz 
F                             Dm          
And nothing can stop you from dancing 

C 
Rise from your cold hospital bed 
            C7         F 
I tell you, you're not dying 
C        Fm           C        Fsus2 
Everyone knows you're going to live 
C                         Am6/G   G7 
So you might as well start trying 

C 
The piano is not firewood yet 
F                      C 
But the cold does get cold 
Dm                   G 
So it soon might be that 
C 
I'll take it apart, call up my friends 
          F            C            Dm 
And we'll warm up our hands by the fire 
C 
Don't look so shocked 

Don't judge so harsh 
C7 
You don't know 
             F 
You are only spying 
C        Fm         C        Fsus2 
Everyone knows it's going to hurt 
C                         Am6/G   G7 
But at least we'll get hurt trying 

C 
The piano is not firewood yet 
F                    C 
But a heart can't be helped 
Dm             G  
And it gathers regret 
C 
Someday you'll wake up and feel a great pain 
           F          C            Dm        G 
And you'll miss every toy you ever owned 

F                 C 
You'll want to go back 

You'll wish you were small 
Dm          C7       F  
Nothing can slow the crying 
C               Fm                Fsus2 
You'll take the clock off of your wall 
           C           G7    C  
And you'll wish it was lying 

F             C 
Love what you have and you'll have more love 
C7         F   
You're not dying 
C        Fm                    Fsus2 
Everyone knows you're going to love 
C                                G7    C 
Though there's still no cure for crying
