Firewood Uke tab by Regina Spektor

[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

[Outro]
