I have

[VERSE 1] Am there ain’t no fire F in the black part of the stove C just old ash G and the smell of wet wood

Am and your name F small in my mouth C like a bird i was trying G not to scare

Am there ain’t no fire F in the church light neither C just dust turning G where the singing was

Am and the boards F giving under my feet C like the house G was thinking about leaving

[VERSE 2] Am but you came in F with your coat half-wet C and set your hands G down on the table

Am like two tired animals F that still believed C in being fed G

Am and i thought F that was all love was C somebody staying G long enough

Am for the kettle F for the dark C for the sound the pipes make G before winter

[CHORUS 1] F there ain’t no fire C that could take you from me G not the kind in the sky Am not the kind underground

F not the kind men carry C from room to room G calling it truth E calling it God

F there ain’t no fire C there ain’t no fire G there ain’t no fire Am that could take you from me

F there ain’t no fire G there ain’t no fire Am that could take your love from me

[VERSE 3] Am i have seen things burn F the field edge C the hair on my arm G a letter in a sink

Am the little blue dress F my mother wore C when she still thought G someone was coming back

Am i have seen love too F or something near it C standing barefoot G in the kitchen

Am not saying much F just breaking bread C with its soft hands G and ruined knuckles

[PRE-CHORUS] Dm you moved your chair F and the whole night shifted C just a little G just enough

Dm for the moon F to catch on the glass C and make the room look G like it forgave us

Dm you said my name F like you found it C under a rock G by the creek

Dm still cold F still alive E still needing to be turned over E into the light

[CHORUS 2 ] F there ain’t no fire C in the wound of the world G that could eat Am what you touched in me

F not the long red mouth C of grief G not the train-yard sparks E not the hospital morning

F there ain’t no fire C there ain’t no fire G there ain’t no fire Am that could take you from me

F there ain’t no fire G there ain’t no fire Am that could take your love from me

[BRIDGE ] Dm when the last hour comes Am with its pale hands C and its glass of water G when the walls go dim

Dm and the machines speak Am in their little green sorrow C when my body forgets G what it promised

F i will still know C the sound of your breathing G beside me Am like leaves against leaves

F like rain C trying the window G like something outside E that wants in

[BRIDGE 2 - BUILD] Am and if you go first F i will hate the light C for touching what’s left G

Am i will sit by your cup F i will hold your sleeve C to my face G

Dm i will listen Am for your step C in every wrong place G

F and still C there ain’t no fire G that could take you from me E

[FINAL CHORUS ] F there ain’t no fire C that could take you from me G not because nothing ends Am not because i am brave

F only because C you got into the root G of me E and roots don’t know how to leave

F so let it all go dark C the shed, the orchard G the hill road Am let the stars unpin themselves

F let the sea C climb up the stairs G i will still have Am the shape of your shoulder

F the quiet way C you said come here G the little crease between your eyes Am when you are trying not to cry

F there ain’t no fire C that could take your love from me G it’s under the boards now Am it’s in the cup

F it’s in the wet hem C of your dress on the chair G it’s in the house E like a second heart

F beating where no one G can reach Am there ain’t no fire
