D MajorD G6/EG6/E G+G D MajorD

Verse 1:
D MajorD
We were walking in a circle, hand in hand
G6/EG6/E                        G+G    D MajorD
And your feet were sinking deeper in the sand than mine
D MajorD
You had sold me the mansion in your head
G6/EG6/E                        G+G
I would cut your hair and you would dye it red as fire
D MajorD
As a crackling fire

Chorus 1:
G+G            D MajorD
And I would hold the phone
G+G         D MajorD
So you were not alone
G+G          D MajorD           A augmentedA
I had to take you home, you couldn't even drive

D MajorD G6/EG6/E G+G D MajorD

Verse 2:
D MajorD
You had smiled when you told me you were brave
G6/EG6/E                        G+G   D MajorD
And that your life was in other hands to save, not mine
D MajorD
I saw the mansion you had made me love ignite
G6/EG6/E                         G+G
And as you were fading, it was growing bright with fire
D MajorD
With a crackling fire

Chorus 2:
G+G            D MajorD
And when you tried to stand
D MajorD          D MajorD
You had to take my hand
G+G            D MajorD             A augmentedA
You said "I think your plan will be splitting from mine"

Verse 3:
D MajorD
We made a pile of all your remaining clothes
G6/EG6/E                            G+G   D MajorD
Where you?re heading now you won?t be needing those, it?s fine
D MajorD
We soaked the pile till it dripped with gasoline
G6/EG6/E                      G+G
And then I lit a match as if I?d never seen a fire, fire, fire
         D MajorD
It was a big roaring fire

Chorus 3:
G+G           D MajorD
And your heart beat failed
G+G               D MajorD
And it stopped leaving its trails
G+G            D MajorD            A augmentedA
But the last thing you exhaled while you were alive was

Ending:
    G+G
I am alright
    D MajorD
I am alright
    G+G
I am alright
    D MajorD
I am alright
    G+G
I am alright
    D MajorD
I am alright
           A augmentedA
And I'm doing just fine
    G+G
I am alright
    D MajorD
I am alright
    G+G
I am alright
    D MajorD
I am alright
    G+G
I am alright
    D MajorD
I am alright
           A augmentedA
And I'm doing just fine
  G+G  D MajorD G+G D MajorD G+G D MajorD A augmentedA
Yeah

End on one strum of G+G
