[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
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
