Slow Dancing In A Burning Room

(Originally by John Mayer)

[Intro]
Am F C
 
[Verse 1]
          Am
It's not a 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 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
My dear
                         F      C
We're slow dancing in a burning room
 
Am F C 
(x2)
 
[Verse 2]
         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'll make the most of all the sadness
             F              C
You'll be a jerk 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
My dear
                       F       C
We're slow dancing in a burning room
 
Am F C 
(x2)
 
[Outro]
                         Am
Don't you think we oughta know by now?
                              F       C          
Don't you think we should have learned somehow?
 
Am
My dear
                       F       C
We're slow dancing in a burning room
