Firewood chords by Regina Spektor

Capo 1

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

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

C
The piano is not firewood yet
C
But the cold does get cold
G
So it soon might be that
C
I'll take it apart, call up my friends
          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
Fsus2
Everyone knows it's going to hurt
G7
But at least we'll get hurt trying

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

C
You'll want to go back

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

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