Note: on the last chord of the 2nd chorus , A , the tempo of the strumming picks up
D G6/E G D
Verse 1:
D
We were walking in a circle, hand in hand
G6/E G D
And your feet were sinking deeper in the sand than mine
D
You had sold me the mansion in your head
G6/E G
I would cut your hair and you would dye it red as fire
D
As a crackling fire
Chorus 1:
G D
And I would hold the phone
G D
So you were not alone
G D A
I had to take you home, you couldn't even drive
D G6/E G D
Verse 2:
D
You had smiled when you told me you were brave
G6/E G D
And that your life was in other hands to save, not mine
D
I saw the mansion you had made me love ignite
G6/E G
And as you were fading, it was growing bright with fire
D
With a crackling fire
Chorus 2:
G D
And when you tried to stand
D D
You had to take my hand
G D A
You said "I think your plan will be splitting from mine"
Verse 3:
D
We made a pile of all your remaining clothes
G6/E G D
Where you’re heading now you won’t be needing those, it’s fine
D
We soaked the pile till it dripped with gasoline
G6/E G
And then I lit a match as if I’d never seen a fire, fire, fire
D
It was a big roaring fire
Chorus 3:
G D
And your heart beat failed
G D
And it stopped leaving its trails
G D A
But the last thing you exhaled while you were alive was
Ending:

I am alright
D
I am alright
G
I am alright
D
I am alright
G
I am alright
D
I am alright

And I'm doing just fine
G
I am alright
D
I am alright
G
I am alright
D
I am alright
G
I am alright
D
I am alright

And I'm doing just fine
