no capo. this is one version of the song. i'm uploading a second version which
isn't much different from this one. but this is one of my favorite john mayer
songs and it's so easy to play (: have fun!
[Verse]
Em C
It's not a silly little moment,
D G
It's not the storm before the calm.
Em C
This is the deep and dying breath of
D G
This love that we've been working on.
Em C
Can't seem to hold you like I want to
D G
So I can feel you in my arms.
Em C
Nobody's gonna come and save you,
D G
We pulled too many false alarms.
[Chorus]
Em
We're going down,
C G
And you can see it too.
Em
We're going down,
C D
And you know that we're doomed.
Em
My dear,
C G
We're slow dancing in a burning room.
Em C G (x2)
[Verse]
I was the one you always dreamed of,
You were the one I tried to draw.
How dare you say it's nothing to me?
Baby, you're the only light I ever saw.
I'll make the most of all the sadness,
You'll be a bitch because you can.
You try to hit me just to hurt me
So you leave me feeling dirty
Because you can't understand.
[Chorus]
Em
We're going down,
C G
And you can see it too.
Em
We're going down,
C D
And you know that we're doomed.
Em
My dear,
C G
We're slow dancing in a burning room.
[Bridge]
D Em C
Go cry about it - why don't you?
D Em C
Go cry about it - why don't you?
D Em C
Go cry about it - why don't you?
Em C G
My dear, we're slow dancing in a burning room,
C G
Burning room,
C G
Burning room,
C G
Burning room,
C G
Burning room.
[Outro]
Em
Don't you think we oughta know by now?
C G
Don't you think we shoulda learned somehow?
Em
Don't you think we oughta know by now?
C G
Don't you think we shoulda learned somehow?
Em
Don't you think we oughta know by now?
C G
Don't you think we shoulda learned somehow?
