Key: Em Intro: Em Em Cmaj7 Am Verse 1: Em You open the door and the colors dissolve Every laugh in the room starts to fade and resolve Cmaj7 Into tight little knots at the back of the throat Am Like a hand on a match Em Like a rock on a boat
Verse 2: Em You circle the crowd like a slow-coming storm Every glance from afar throws us out of our form Cmaj7 Till the jokes fall flat and the chatter turns thin Am We were almost alive Em Then you walk in Chorus: Em Hands on fire Hearts on ice We thought we could burn But you′ve got the knife Cmaj7 Every small bright thing Am Cmaj7 You find the flame and you starve it out B N.C. Em Nothing you touch Can stay alive Verse 3: Em You talk like a funeral dressed as advice Every "just being honest" is sharpened like ice Cmaj7 You hang heavy words from the black chandeliers Am Em Till the ceiling bends down with a thousand fears Verse 4: Em You weigh every smile like a crime to confess Turn an easy hello to a failing test Cmaj7 They were halfway free. We were almost fine B Then you crossed the floor And rewrote the line Chorus: Em Hands on fire Hearts on ice We thought we could burn But you′ve got the knife Cmaj7 Every small bright thing Am Cmaj7 You find the flame and you starve it out B N.C. Em Nothing you touch Can stay alive [Instrumental] G A Cmaj7 Am Bridge: G A Em Maybe once you were hurt till the colors all bled A Em A B Now you crush every bloom just to match your own head Cmaj7 If you can′t feel the sun Then you black out the sky Am Better all of us empty than watch you cry Chorus: Em Hands on fire Hearts on ice We thought we could burn But you′ve got the knife Cmaj7 Every small bright thing Am Cmaj7 You find the flame and you starve it out B N.C. Em Nothing you touch G Em Can stay alive
