Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Intro:

B  E

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

B  E

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

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

E B E B E B D# E

B F# B

E

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

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


Repeat those last two lines 4x then:

B C#m E F# x4
