[Intro]
C#m7 Aadd9 E
C#m7 Aadd9 E
[Verse]
C#m7
It's not a silly little moment
Aadd9 E
It's not the storm before the calm
C#m7
This is the deep and dying breath of
Aadd9 E
This love that we've been working on
C#m7
Can't seem to hold you like I want to
Aadd9 E
So I can feel you in my arms
C#m7
Nobody's gonna come and save you
Aadd9 E
We've pulled too many false alarms
[Chorus]
Badd11
We're going down
C#m7 Aadd9
And you can see it too
Badd11
We're going down
C#m7 F#m11
And you know that we're doomed
C#m7 Aadd9 E
My Dear we're slow dancing in a burning room
[Instrumental]
C#m7 Aadd9 E
C#m7 Aadd9 E
[Verse]
C#m7
I was the one you always dreamed of
Aadd9 E
You were the one I tried to draw
C#m7
How dare you say it's nothing to me
Aadd9 E
Baby you're the only light I ever saw
C#m7
I'll make the most of all the sadness
Aadd9 E
You'll be a bitch because you can
C#m7
You try to hit me just to hurt me so you leave me feeling dirty
Aadd9 E
Because you can't understand
[Chorus]
Badd11
We're going down
C#m7 Aadd9
And you can see it too
Badd11
We're going down
C#m7 F#m11
And you know that we're doomed
C#m7 Aadd9 E
My Dear we're slow dancing in a burning room
[Instrumental]

C#m7
Don't you think we outta know by now
Aadd9 E
Don't you think we should've learned somehow
C#m7
Don't you think we outta know by now
Aadd9 E
Don't you think we should've learned somehow

Don't you think we outta know by now
Aadd9 E
Don't you think we should've learned somehow
