Slow Dancing in a Burning Room

>>Verse 1<<

            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; 
                             Aadd9   E
Of this love that we've been working on.

(Repeat Chords)
Can't seem to hold you like I want to;
So I can feel you in my arms.
Nobody's gonna come and save you.
We've pulled too many false alarms.


   >>Chorus<<
                    Bsus4
   We're going down.
               C#m7   Aadd9
   And you can see it too.
               Bsus4
   We're going down.
           C#m7            Aadd9
   And you know that we're doomed;
      C#m7                         Aadd9   E
   My Dear we're slow dancing in a burning room.


>>Verse 2<< (Same chords as previous verses)

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;
'Cause you can't understand.

(Chorus)

>>Bridge<<

   F#m7       C#m7             Bsus4   Aadd9
Go Cry about it why don't you ...
(repeat 3 times)

   C#m7                         Aadd9   E
My Dear we're slow dancing in a burning room.


>>Outro<<

                         C#m7
Don't you think we outta know by now;
                             Aadd9           E
Don't you think we should've learned somehow.
(Repeat this part maybe 3 or 4 times.)
