C#m
It's not a silly little moment
A E
It's not the storm before the calm
C#m
This is the deep and dying breath of
A E
This love we've been working on
 
C#m
Can't seem to hold you like I want to
A E
So I can feel you in my arms
C#m
Nobody's gonna come and save you
A E
We pulled too many false alarms
 
B
We're going down
C#m A
And you can see it too
B
We're going down
C#m F#m
And you know that we're doomed
C#m A E
My dear, we're slow dancing in a burning room
 
C#m
I was the one you always dreamed of
A E
You were the one I tried to draw
C#m
How dare you say it's nothing to me
A E
Baby, you're the only light I ever saw
 
C#m
I'll make the most of all the sadness
A E
You'll be a bitch because you can
C#m
You try to hit me just to hurt me
 
So you leave me feeling dirty
A E
Because you can't understand
 
B
We're going down
C#m A
And you can see it too
B
We're going down
C#m F#m
And you know that we're doomed
C#m A E
My dear, we're slow dancing in a burning room
 
F#m C#m B 3x
Go cry about it, why don't you?

A E
Don't you think we shoulda learned somehow?
