Julien Baker - Funeral Pyre Chords

Capo 4

[Verse 1]
  C                        
I wake up with the same pain every night
Am         F         C         G
Digging a hatchet into my left side
C          
Clearing my chest of something to burn
Am        F          C       G            F
Ash for a decorative urn you keep in your mantelpiece;
       F                       C         
Like a trophy for everything
     C        Em          C  Em
That withers eventually


[Bridge]
Am          G                C          F  
Call me a coward, but I'm too scared to leave
      Am          G                C          F  
'cause I want you to be the last thing I see, oh come on
Am          G                C          F  
Call me a coward, but I'm too scared to leave
            Am      G             C            F
Watched you pouring lighter fluid out onto the leaves


[Chorus]
  C                              C     
And I would've loved you with the dying fire
                   Em           
Let you smother me down to the embers
                     Am       F        C          G       F
Frostbite turning my limbs as black as cinder of funeral pyre

    C          
And I would have stayed if you asked me to
                      Em
Stood outside till my lips turn blue
  Em                   
I wouldn't have blamed you
    Am         F             C              G         F     
For leaving me there on the porch while you drank gasoline
F           
'cause it's what you needed so bad


[Outro]
         C     
And it's true
                  Em          Am  F  C  G  F 
It's nothing that we could do
