[Intro]
Am F C

[Verse 1]
Am
It’s not a silly little moment
F C
It’s not the storm before the calm
Am
This is the deep and dying breath of
F C
This love that we’ve been working on

Am
Can’t seem to hold you like I want to
F C
So I can feel you in my arms

Am
Nobody’s gonna come and save you
F C
We pulled too many false alarms

[Chorus]
G
We’re going down
Am F
And you can see it too
G
We’re going down
Am F
And you know that we’re doomed
Am
My dear
F C
We’re slow dancing in a burning room

Am F C
(x2)

[Verse 2]
Am
I was the one you always dreamed of
F C
You were the one I tried to draw

Am
How dare you say it’s nothing to me?
F C
Baby, you’re the only light I ever saw
Am
I’ll make the most of all the sadness
F C
You’ll be a jerk because you can
Am
You try to hit me just to hurt me

So you leave me feeling dirty
F C
‘Cause you can’t understand

[Chorus]
G
We’re going down
Am F
And you can see it too
G
We’re going down
Am F
And you know that we’re doomed
Am
My dear
F C
We’re slow dancing in a burning room

Am F C
(x2)

[Outro]
Am
Don’t you think we oughta know by now?
F C
Don’t you think we should have learned somehow?

Am
My dear
F C
We’re slow dancing in a burning room
