Verse 1
G    Gsus        G
The piano is not firewood yet
C           G            Am         D
They try to remember but still they forget
G
That the heart beats in threes 
G
Just like a waltz
C          G                   Am        D
And nothing can stop you from dancing
 
Verse 2
C           D     G
Rise from your cold hospital bed
            G7         C
I tell you, you're not dying
G        Cm           G        Csus2     C(with high E string on third fret)*    Csus2   C*
Everyone knows you're going to live
G            G/F             Em6/D   D7
So you might as well start trying
 
Verse 3
G      Gsus            G
The piano is not firewood yet
C                      G
But the cold does get cold
Am                   D
So it soon might be that
G
I'll take it apart, call up my friends
          C            G            Am   D
And we'll warm up our hands by the fire
 
Verse 4
C        D        G
Don't look so shocked
 
Don't judge so harsh
G7
You don't know
             C
You are only spying
G        Cm         G        Csus2  C*    Csus2    C*
Everyone knows it's going to hurt
G           G/F              Em6/D   D7
But at least we'll get hurt trying
Verse 5]
G        Gsus        G
The piano is not firewood yet
C                    G
But a heart can't be helped
Am             D
And it gathers regret
G
Someday you'll wake up and feel a great pain
           C          G            Am        D
And you'll miss every toy you ever owned
 
Verse 6]
C          D        G
You'll want to go back
 
You'll wish you were small
 G7                    Csus    C
Nothing can slow the crying
G               Cm      G          Csus2   C*  Csus2  C*
You'll take the clock off of your wall
           G      G/F  Em6/D   D7
And you'll wish it was lying
 
Verse 7]
C          D   G
Love what you have and you'll have more love
G7         C
You're not dying
G        Cm            G        Csus2   C*   Csus2   C*
Everyone knows you're going to love
             G          G/F  Em6/D   D7
Though there's still no cure for crying
