[Verse]
 
Em                       C
It's not a silly little moment,
             D                G
It's not the storm before the calm.
            Em                   C
This is the deep and dying breath of
                           D      G
This love that we've been working on.
 
              Em                   C
Can't seem to hold you like I want to
         D              G
So I can feel you in my arms.
         Em                  C
Nobody's gonna come and save you,
                   D     G
We pulled too many false alarms.
 
 
[Chorus]
 
            Em
We're going down,
            C      G
And you can see it too.
            Em
We're going down,
        C               D
And you know that we're doomed.
   Em
My dear, 
                        C       G
We're slow dancing in a burning room.
 
Em  C  G  (x2)
 
 
[Verse]
 
 
I was the one you always dreamed of,
 
You were the one I tried to draw.
 
How dare you say it's nothing to me?
 
Baby, you're the only light I ever saw.
 
 
I'll make the most of all the sadness,
 
You'll be a bitch because you can.
 
You try to hit me just to hurt me
 
So you leave me feeling dirty
 
Because you can't understand.
 
 
[Chorus]
 
            Em
We're going down,
            C      G
And you can see it too.
            Em
We're going down,
        C               D
And you know that we're doomed.
   Em
My dear, 
                        C       G
We're slow dancing in a burning room.
 
 
[Bridge]
 
   D                              Em     C
Go cry about it - why don't you?
   D                              Em     C
Go cry about it - why don't you?
   D                              Em     C
Go cry about it - why don't you?
 
         Em                      C       G
My dear, we're slow dancing in a burning room,
C       G
Burning room,
C       G
Burning room,
C       G
Burning room,
C       G
Burning room.
