The Fire

B E 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 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. 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 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. 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# 4x B
