Regina Spektor – Firewood (Ukulele)

    C
The piano is not firewood yet

     F        C           G
They try to remember but still they forget

         C
That the heart beats in threes, just like a waltz

     F          C              G
And nothing can stop you from dancing

 F               C
Rise from your cold hospital bed

              C7        F
I tell you you're not dying

 C        Fm          C         F
Everyone knows you're going to live

        C                 (F) G  C
So you might as well start trying

    C
The piano is not firewood yet

        F             C          G
But the cold does get cold so it soon might be that

     C
I'll take it apart, and call up my friends

          F           C            G
And we'll warm up our hands by the fire

F             C
Don't look so shocked, don't judge so harsh

          C7               F
You don't know you're only spying

C        Fm          C       F
Everyone knows it's going to hurt

        C                 (F) G  C
But at least we'll get hurt trying

    C
The piano is not firewood yet

        F              C             G
But the heart can't be helped and it gathers regret

    C
Someday you'll wake up and feel a great pain

           F          C               G
And you'll miss every toy you've ever owned

       F          C
You'll want to go back, you'll wish you were small

C7                   F
Nothing can slow the crying

C               Fm    C           F
You'll take the clock off of your wall

           C               (F) G  C
And you'll wish that it was lying

F             C
Love what you have and you'll have more love

C7         F
You're not dying

C        Fm          C        F
Everyone knows you're going to love

C                        (F)   G  C
But there's still no cure for crying
