           C#m 
It's not a silly little moment 
               A               E 
It's not the storm before the calm 
            C#m 
This is the deep and dying breath of 
                      A       E 
This love we've been working on 


               C#m    
Can't seem to hold you like I want to 
          A              E 
So I can feel you in my arms 
          C#m                  
Nobody's gonna come and save you 
                    A       E 
We pulled too many false alarms 


             B 
We're going down 
             C#m    A 
And you can see it too 
              B 
We're going down 
         C#m             F#m 
And you know that we're doomed 
    C#m                           A       E 
My dear, we're slow dancing in a burning room 


          C#m        
I was the one you always dreamed of 
              A              E 
You were the one I tried to draw 
             C#m 
How dare you say it's nothing to me 
                            A      E 
Baby, you're the only light I ever saw 


              C#m  
I'll make the most of all the sadness 
             A                 E 
You'll be a bitch because you can 
           C#m 
You try to hit me just to hurt me 

So you leave me feeling dirty 
             A           E 
Because you can't understand 


             B 
We're going down 
            C#m     A 
And you can see it too 
             B 
We're going down 
         C#m              F#m 
And you know that we're doomed 
   C#m                           A        E 
My dear, we're slow dancing in a burning room 


   F#m                          C#m  B    3x 
Go cry about it, why don't you? 
    C#m                          A       E 
My dear, we're slow dancing in a burning room 


                          C#m 
Don't you think we oughta know by now? 
                            A             E 
Don't you think we shoulda learned somehow?
