Intro:
D MajorD

Verse 1:

D MajorD
With my back on the floor
            G+G
Cold linoleum icing my growing pains
     D MajorD
Watch the ceiling fan turn its shape again
  B minorBm
My threads are coming loose
     D MajorD     A augmentedA
Yeah, I'm one spoon away
   D MajorD           G+G
From setting the ends of my hair on fire
    D MajorD
If I'm kindling for a little while
             G+G
At least I'd feel of use

Chorus:

G+G               D MajorD
Maybe then my breath could embody
      Bm7Bm7
A augmentedA wildfire starting
  A augmentedA
I'd sweep up the forest floor
G+G                  D MajorD
And my body'd breathe life into the corners
      Bm7Bm7
Be a darker soil

A augmentedA G+G A augmentedA G+G E MajorE A augmentedA B minorBm DmDm F# minorF#m G+G E minorEm D MajorD G+G

Verse 2:

    D MajorD
Making lists, folding laundry
           G+G
Keeping tidy with my radio show
    B minorBm     A augmentedA
I'd be lying if I told you
       D MajorD   G+G
I'm keeping tidy anymore
    A augmentedA
Yeah, I swing from believing
              G+G
That maybe my working will all pay off
   D MajorD           A augmentedA
To considering drinking with Molotov
   D MajorD          G+G
I'm halfway out the door

Chorus:

G+G              D MajorD
Maybe then my breath could embody
      Bm7Bm7
A augmentedA wildfire starting
   A augmentedA           G+G
I'd sweep up the forest floor
                  D MajorD
And my body'd breathe life into the corners
       B minorBm
Be a darker soil

A augmentedA G+G D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD E MajorE D MajorD A augmentedA Bm7Bm7 D MajorD G+G A augmentedA

Bridge:

D MajorD
Promise me
                 B minorBm
That you'll start where I end
D MajorD
And I promise to give you
   A augmentedA    G+G
Everything I am
        A augmentedA
(On and on and on)
     D MajorD
We'll go on and on and on

Outro:

    A augmentedA
In the end

All I hope for
   G+G
Is to be a bit of warmth for you
       D MajorD
When there's not a lot of warmth left
E minorEm
To go around

A augmentedA G+G D MajorD B minorBm G+G
