Julien Baker – Funeral Pyre (Ukulele)

  C                F    C          F
I wake up with the same pain every night

C         F         C
Digging a hatchet into my left side

C           F        C            F
Clearing my chest of something to burn

Am        F          C       F
Ash for a decorative urn you keep in your mantelpiece;

       C          F           C
Like a trophy for everything

     C        Em          C  Em
That withers eventually

Am          Em                C               G  F  C
Call me a coward, but I'm too scared to leave

       Am                   C            F       C
'cause I want you to be the last thing I see, oh come on

Am        Em              C             G
Call me a coward, but I'm too scared to leave

            Am      G             C            F
Watched you pouring lighter fluid out onto the leaves

    C       F  C     F            C
And I would've loved you with the dying fire

                G
Let you smother me down to the embers

                     Am                          F
Frostbite turning my limbs as black as cinder of funeral pyre

    C F          C         F         C
And I would have stayed if you asked me to

                      G
Stood outside till my lips turn blue

  Em                   
I wouldn't have blamed you

    Am         C                            F      
For leaving me there on the porch while you drank gasoline

            C                  F
'cause it's what you needed so bad

         C    Em  Am  F  C  G  F 
And it's true

                  C          Em  Am  F  C  G  F 
It's nothing that we could do
