Slow Burn

	  		F                           Am 
Here shall we live in this terrible town 
           F 
Where the price for our eyes 
                    Am 
Shall squeeze them tight like a fist 
         F 
And the walls shall have eyes 
         Am 
And the doors shall have ears 
         F 
But we'll dance in their dark 
              Am 
And they'll play with our lives 

      Dm 
Like a slow burn 
           F 
Leading us on and on and on 
      Dm 
Like a slow burn 
            F 
Turning us round and round and round 
Bb 
Hark who are we 
             Gm 
So small in times such as these 
      F    Am 
Slow burn 
    F    Am 
Slow burn 

Solo  F  Am  F  Am 

     F 
Oh, these are the days 
                 Am 
These are the strangest of all 
  F 
These are the nights 
               Am 
These are the darkest to fall 
     F 
But who knows? 
           Am 
Echoes in tenement halls 
 F 
Who knows? 
                Am 
Though the years snare them all 

      Dm 
Like a slow burn 
           F 
Leading us on and on and on 
      Dm 
Like a slow burn 
             F 
Twirling us round and round and upside down 
         Bb 
There's fear overhead 
         Gm 
There's fear overground 
      F    Am 
Slow burn 
    F    Am 
Slow burn 

      Dm 
Like a slow burn 
           F 
Leading us on and on and on 
      Dm 
Like a slow burn 
            F 
Turning us round and round and round 
     Bb 
And here are we 
        Gm 
At the center of it all 
      F   Am 
Slow burn 
      F   Am 
Slow burn 
      F   Am 
Slow burn
