Capo 1

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

C
Rise from your cold hospital bed
            C7         F
I tell you, you're not dying
C        Fm           C        F9
Everyone knows you're going to live
C                         Am6/G   G7
So you might as well start trying

C
The piano is not firewood yet
F                      C
But the cold does get cold
Dm                   G
So it soon might be that
C
I'll take it apart, call up my friends
          F            C            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
C        Fm         C        F9
Everyone knows it's going to hurt
C                         Am6/G   G7
But at least we'll get hurt trying

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

F                 C
You'll want to go back

You'll wish you were small
Dm          C7       F 
Nothing can slow the crying
C               Fm                F9
You'll take the clock off of your wall
           C           G7    C 
And you'll wish it was lying

F             C
Love what you have and you'll have more love
C7         F  
You're not dying
C        Fm                    F9
Everyone knows you're going to love
C                                G7    C
Though there's still no cure for crying
