[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

[Am] This is the greatest and best song in the world... Tribute.
 
[Verse 1] (no drums)
[Am] Long time ago me and my brother Kyle here, (riff)
[Am] We was hitchhikin' down a long and lonesome road. (riff)
[Am] All of a sudden, there shined a shiny demon... (riff)
[Am] In the middle of the road. .... And he said:
 
(strum palm muted)
[A5] "Plaaay     the best song in the world,      or I'll eat your souls."
 
(back to normal picking)
[Am] Well me and Kyle, we looked at each other,
[Am] And we each said... "Okay"
 
[Am] And we played the first thing that [G] came to our heads,
[F] Just so happened to be,
[Am] The Best Song in the [G] World, it was [F] The Best Song in the World.
 
[Chorus 1] (Drums in)
[D] Look into my eyes and it's [F] easy to see .. One and 
[C] one make two, two and [G] one make three, It was (drop snare)
[F] destiny. (snare pick up)
[D] Once every hundred-thousand [F] years or so, When the 
[C] sun doth shine and the [G] moon doth glow And the 
[F] grass don't grow...
 
[Verse 2] (drums just bass drum)
[Am] Needless to say, the beast was stunned.
[Am] Whip-crack went his schwumpy tail,
[Am] And the beast was done.
[Am] He asked us: "Be you angels?" (prep for high A to be sung)
[Am] And we said, "Nay. We are but men!" ROCK!
 
[Interlude] (full drums)
[D] Ahhh, [F] ahhh, [C] ahhh-ah- [G] ah,
[F] Ohhh, whoah, 
[F] ah-whoah-oh!
[F] ah-whoah-oh!

[Chorus 2]
[Am] This is not  [Am]  The [G] Greatest Song in the [Am] World. (riff)
[Am] No,          [Am] this is just a [G] tribute. [Am] 
[Am] Couldn't remember [Am] The [G] Greatest Song in the [Am] World. (riff)
[Am] No,          [Am]  this is a [G] tribute, [Am] oh. (vocals allude to Amaj interesting)
 
[Am]     [G] To The Greatest [D] Song in the [F] World, All right!
[Am]     [G] It was The Greatest [D] Song in the [F] World, All right!
[Am]     It was the best mutha [G] fuckin' song
The greatest [D] song in the [F] world.
 
(drums stop - acapella bit but play chords staccato with rhythm of words)
[Am]     Dee      soo guh [G] goo gee goo    gee     Goo guh

[Interlude - SPOKEN]
[Am] And the peculiar [G] thing is this my friends:
[D] The song we sang on that [F] fateful night,
It didn't [Am] actually sound [G] anything like this [D] song.
[F] This is just a 
 
[Verse 3] 
[Am] tribute! You [G] gotta be [D] lieve me!
Man, I [F] wish you were 
[Am] there! Just a [G] matter of opin [D] ion.
Ah, [F] what the fuck! 
[Am] Good God, [G] gotta love 'em,
[D] So surprised to [F] find you can't stop me now.
[Am] A fiery [G] ring of fire!
