[Intro]
C#m7  Aadd9  E 
C#m7  Aadd9  E 
[Verse]
           C#m7
It's not a silly little moment
             Aadd9            E
It's not the storm before the calm
            C#m7
This is the deep and dying breath of
                          Aadd9   E
This love that we've been working on
           C#m7
Can't seem to hold you like I want to
             Aadd9            E
So I can feel you in my arms
            C#m7
Nobody's gonna come and save you
             Aadd9            E
We've pulled too many false alarms
[Chorus]
            Badd11
We're going down
            C#m7   Aadd9
And you can see it too
            Badd11
We're going down
        C#m7            F#m11
And you know that we're doomed
   C#m7                         Aadd9   E
My Dear we're slow dancing in a burning room
[Instrumental]
C#m7  Aadd9  E 
C#m7  Aadd9  E 
[Verse]
           C#m7
I was the one you always dreamed of
           Aadd9             E
You were the one I tried to draw
           C#m7
How dare you say it's nothing to me
            Aadd9                 E
Baby you're the only light I ever saw
           C#m7
I'll make the most of all the sadness
            Aadd9          E
You'll be a bitch because you can
           C#m7
You try to hit me just to hurt me so you leave me feeling dirty
            Aadd9   E
Because you can't understand
[Chorus]
            Badd11
We're going down
            C#m7   Aadd9
And you can see it too
            Badd11
We're going down
        C#m7            F#m11
And you know that we're doomed
   C#m7                         Aadd9   E
My Dear we're slow dancing in a burning room
[Instrumental]
C#m7  Aadd9  E

[Bridge]
   F#m11            C#m7       Badd11 Aadd9
Go Cry about it why don't you (repeat 3 times)
   C#m7                         Aadd9   E
My Dear we're slow dancing in a burning room
[Instrumental]
C#m7  Aadd9  E

[Outro]
                         C#m7
Don't you think we outta know by now
                             Aadd9         E
Don't you think we should've learned somehow
                        C#m7
Don't you think we outta know by now
                             Aadd9         E
Don't you think we should've learned somehow
                         C#m7
Don't you think we outta know by now
                             Aadd9         E
Don't you think we should've learned somehow
