The Fire by Laura Stevenson
The Fire
Tuning: E A D G B E
[Intro]
B E
[Verse 1]
B E B E
Here's to mud in your eye,
B D# E
here's to you and the rest of your life.
B E B E
I see the outline and you're unlined,
B D# E
I feel the shake of uneven table legs
B F# B
and I can't sit back and help you celebrate.
B E
[Verse 2]
B E B E
The world is braiding and time is bending,
B D# E
so I could go tonight and try and keep you both from burning.
B E B
I bring you bad news from another place,
E B D# E
even if it means that I am made to be erased.
B F# E
I love you more than both of you could say
E C#m F# B
and I can't bear to see you turn another day in the fire.
[Chorus]
F#
In the fire,
B E
we are folding in the fire,
B C#m F#
and it's nicer than it was with the pictures warming up and getting lost,
E B
as the silver takes the sun.
E B E B E B D# E
B F# B
E
[Verse 3]
B E B E
And you will make a stumbling father, crumbling mother with
B D# E
two little wrecking balls to help you level out each other.
B E B E
And you'll pull over and go to sleep,
B D# E
she'll make you beg hard for every little piece.
B F# E
And they'll grow up fast and watch you both repeat,
E C#m F# B
and never find the loving that you need in the fire.
[Chorus]
F#
In the fire,
B E
we are folding in the fire,
B C#m F#
run in opposite directions maybe then you'll meet up on the other side.
E B
As the silver takes the sun,
E G#m E
and it washes out the fear in everyone.
F# D# E F#
You were too fucked up to see what you would become,
B
if you jump into the fire...
C#m E F# B
(if you jump into the fire)
Repeat those last two lines 4x then:
B C#m E F# x4
B
