Capo 6
 
[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

great tab!! i think it works best if you end the song with a G chord

Thanks. But the G at the end of “Rise from your cold…” and the other similar passages should be Em. It then goes to G. Also, there are lines where asterisked chords are not recognised by the software, which means it doesn’t transpose properly. Perhaps get rid of the asterisks? Thanks again for the tab, would be 5* with these changes and the one suggested by sethyorg.
