[Intro]
 
Am F C x4
 
 
[Verse]
 
         Am
It's not 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've 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                       F       C
My dear we're slow dancing in a burning room 
 
Am F C x2
 
 
[Verse]
 
          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 make the most of all the sadness 
            F                 C
You'll be a bitch 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                       F       C
My dear we're slow dancing in a burning room 
 
Am F C x2
 
   Am                          F C
Go cry about it, why don't you?     x3 
 
       Am                       F       C
My dear we're slow dancing in a burning room 
 
Am F C x4
                         Am
Don't you think we oughta know by now? 
                           F       C
Don't you think we shoulda learned somehow? 
 
Those two lines repeat and the song fades out so do what you want with the ending!
Like I said, this is my first tab so it may be a little rough but it sounds great
to me and I hope this helps! John Mayer songs are typically difficult to play, so
I hope this helps you beginners out there! Thanks xoxo

For anyone looking to get this that little bit more accurate.. G We're going down Am *Dm7* And you know that we're doomed Normal Dm/Dm7 is ok but you could try XX0011 to get that 11 sound. (Originally without a capo he goes down to a F#m11 chord (2X4200) for 'doomed' FYI)

I believe on the "Go cry about it why don't you" x3 it is G F C (instead of Am F C). Otherwise, excellent - thanks heaps for sharing :-)
