[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
