Chords

[Intro] D [Verse 1]
D                       A
With my back on the floor

       D                G
Cold linoleum icing my growing pains

          D                       A
Watch the ceiling fan turn its shape again

   D
My threads are coming loose

          D          A
Yeah, I'm one spoon away

     D                      G
From setting the ends of my hair on fire

       D                     A
If I'm kindling for a little while

        D                 G
At least I'd feel of use
[Chorus]
G                             D
Maybe then my breath could embody

           Bm7
A wildfire starting

    A
I'd sweep up the forest floor

G                                   D
And my body'd breathe life into the corners

            Bm7        A
Be a darker soil
A G A G E A Bm F#m G Em D G [Verse 2]
       D
Making lists, folding laundry

                     G
Keeping tidy with my radio show

       Bm         A
I'd be lying if I told you

             D      G
I'm keeping tidy anymore

        D              A 
Yeah, I swing from believing

     D                      G
That maybe my working will all pay off

      D                      A
To considering drinking with Molotov

     D                    G
I'm halfway out the door
[Chorus]
G                           D
Maybe then my breath could embody

           Bm7
A wildfire starting

     A                     G
I'd sweep up the forest floor

                                   D
And my body'd breathe life into the corners

             Bm        A
Be a darker soil
A/D D G A/D A D E A Bm7 F#m G A [Bridge]
D
Promise me

                                 Bm
That you'll start where I end

D
And I promise to give you

           G
Everything I am

               Bm
(On and on and on)

         D
We'll go on and on and on
[Outro]
       A
In the end
All I hope for
      Bm
Is to be a bit of warmth for you

              D
When there's not a lot of warmth left

Em
To go around
A G D Bm G
