Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Intro:
D

Verse 1:

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

Chorus:

G               D
Maybe then my breath could embody
      Bm7
A wildfire starting
  A
I'd sweep up the forest floor
G                  D
And my body'd breathe life into the corners
      Bm7
Be a darker soil

A G A G E A Bm Dm F#m G Em D G

Verse 2:

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

Chorus:

G              D
Maybe then my breath could embody
      Bm7
A wildfire starting
   A           G
I'd sweep up the forest floor
                  D
And my body'd breathe life into the corners
       Bm
Be a darker soil

A G D A D E D A Bm7 D G A

Bridge:

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

Outro:

    A
In the end

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

A G D Bm G
