John Mayer-Slow Dancing In A Burning Room
[Intro - Drum straight in]Pick up phrase 4& - D-6, B-5 then play Cm, Csus2, x46444
[C#m7] [C#m7] [Aadd9-x02222] [E] x 4
[Verse 1]
It's not a [C#m7] silly little moment
It's not the [Aadd9] storm before the [E] calm
This is the [C#m7] deep and dying breath of
This love that we've been [Aadd9] working [E] on
Can't seem to [C#m7] hold you like I want to
So I can [Aadd9] feel you in my [E] arms
Nobody's [C#m7] gonna come and save you
We've pulled too many [Aadd9] false al [E] arms
[Chorus - Badd11-799800,F#m11-24x200 ]
We're going [Badd11] down
And you can [C#m7-9-11-x-9-0-0] see it [Aadd9] too
We're going [Badd11] down
And you [C#m7] know that we're [F#m11-play F#m7 instead] doomed
My [C#m7] dear, we're slow [C#m7] dancing in a
[Aadd9] burning [E] room
[Instrumental]
[C#m7] [C#m7] [Aadd9-x02222] [E] x 4
[Verse 2]
I was the [C#m7] one you always dreamed of
You were the [Aadd9] one I tried to d [E] raw
How dare you [C#m7] say it's nothing to me
Baby, you're the only [Aadd9] light I ever [E] saw
I'll make the [C#m7] most of all the sadness
You'll be a [Aadd9] bitch because you [E] can
You try to [C#m7] hit me just to hurt me so you leave me feeling dirty
'Cause you [Aadd9] can't under [E] stand
[Chorus]
We're going [Badd11] down
And you can [C#m7] see it [Aadd9] too
We're going [Badd11] down
And you [C#m7] know that we're [F#m11] doomed
My [C#m7] dear, we're slow [C#m7] dancing in a
[Aadd9] burning [E] room
[Instrumental]
[C#m7] [C#m7] [Aadd9-x02222] [E] x 4
[Bridge]
Go [F#m11] cry about it, why [C#m7C#m7-9-11-x-9-0-0]
don't you [Badd11] [Aadd9]
Go [F#m11] cry about it, why [C#m7] don't you [Badd11] [Aadd9]
Go [F#m11] cry about it, why [C#m7] don't you [Badd11] [Aadd9]
My [C#m7] dear, we're slow [C#m7] dancing in a
[Aadd9] burning [E] room
[Instrumental]
[C#m7] [C#m7] [Aadd9-x02222] [E] x 4
[Outro]
Don't you think we oughta
[C#m7] know by now ... Don't you [C#m7] think we should've [Aadd9] learned some [E]how
[Repeat twice]
[Fade to end]
