[Verse 1]
           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 2]
          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    
'Cause 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

[Bridge]
   F#m11             C#m7     Badd11
Go cry about it, why don't you
   F#m11             C#m7     Badd11
Go cry about it, why don't you
   F#m11             C#m7     Badd11
Go cry about it, why don't you
   C#m7                          Aadd9   E   
My dear, we're slow dancing in a burning room

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

                             Aadd9         E
Don't you think we should've learned somehow
