Intro:

BB E MajorE

Verse 1:
     BB E MajorE    BB E MajorE
Here's to mud in your eye,
     BB      D#D#      E MajorE
here's to you and the rest of your life.
     BB   E MajorE      BB   E MajorE
I see the outline and you're unlined,
      BB     D#D#     E MajorE
I feel the shake of uneven table legs
   BB         F#F#      BB
and I can't sit back and help you celebrate.

BB E MajorE

Verse 2:
       BB    E MajorE      BB   E MajorE
The world is braiding and time is bending,
      BB       D#D#        E MajorE
so I could go tonight and try and keep you both from burning.
      BB    E MajorE      BB
I bring you bad news from another place,
E MajorE     BB        D#D#      E MajorE
even if it means that I am made to be erased.
 BB         F#F#        E MajorE
I love you more than both of you could say
      E MajorE        C# minorC#m     F#F#     BB
and I can't bear to see you turn another day in the fire.

Chorus:
    F#F#
In the fire,
    BB       E MajorE
we are folding in the fire,
     BB             C# minorC#m               F#F#
and it's nicer than it was with the pictures warming up and getting lost,
    E MajorE        BB
as the silver takes the sun.

E MajorE BB E MajorE BB E MajorE BB D#D# E MajorE

BB F#F# BB

E MajorE

Verse 3:
       BB   E MajorE         BB        E MajorE
And you will make a stumbling father, crumbling mother with
      BB         D#D#       E MajorE
two little wrecking balls to help you level out each other.
        BB  E MajorE     BB   E MajorE
And you'll pull over and go to sleep,
        BB      D#D#      E MajorE
she'll make you beg hard for every little piece.
      BB        F#F#        E MajorE
And they'll grow up fast and watch you both repeat,
  E MajorE       C# minorC#m       F#F#     BB
and never find the loving that you need in the fire.

Chorus:
    F#F#
In the fire,
    BB       E MajorE
we are folding in the fire,
    BB             C# minorC#m               F#F#
run in opposite directions maybe then you'll meet up on the other side.
    E MajorE        BB
As the silver takes the sun,
    E MajorE       G# minorG#m       E MajorE
and it washes out the fear in everyone.
       F#F#        D#D#         E MajorE  F#F#
You were too fucked up to see what you would become,
           BB
if you jump into the fire...
    C# minorC#m      E MajorE F#F# BB
(if you jump into the fire)


Repeat those last two lines 4x then:

BB C# minorC#m E MajorE F#F# x4
