Verse 1:

      C# minorC#m            E MajorE  BB
There was nothing I could do to ever fool ya
      C# minorC#m                    E MajorE  BB
I've been 'round and 'round this place just trying to find ya
      C# minorC#m               E MajorE  BB
I've been tryna spell it out but nothing's clearer
   F# minorF#m    E MajorE  BB
And you hold my body down

Verse 2:

C# minorC#m              E MajorE        BB
I guess it's timing but your heart was never sure, my love
C# minorC#m              E MajorE        BB
About the bigger things that you and I were speaking of
C# minorC#m             E MajorE        BB
You gave a little hope, my dear, and was it just enough
  F# minorF#m   E MajorE  BB
To lay my body down


Chorus:

E MajorE
Holy fire
I've been burning

In your water
I am sinking
C# minorC#m F# minorF#m
Slo--o--ow
    BB
And, darling
E MajorE
When the Earth, it started moving

I lost the air we were breathing
C# minorC#m F# minorF#m
Oh, oh, oh
C# minorC#m     BB
I'm slo--o--ow drowning

C# minorC#m E MajorE BB

Verse 3:

   Cäm               E MajorE  BB
Even now when I look back
I see your shadow
    C# minorC#m            E MajorE BB
And it follows me around wherever I go
    C# minorC#m             E MajorE   BB
Like a precious little secret only you'd know
  F# minorF#m  E MajorE  BB
To lay my body down

Chorus:

E MajorE
Holy fire
I've been burning

In your water
I am sinking
C# minorC#m F# minorF#m
Slo--o--ow
    BB
And, darling
E MajorE
When the Earth, it started moving

I lost the air we were breathing
C# minorC#m F# minorF#m
Oh, oh, oh
C# minorC#m     BB
I'm slo--o--ow drowning

C# minorC#m E MajorE BB

Bridge:

C# minorC#m           BB
And I'm moving backwards just looking at you
C# minorC#m
And the fire around your feet
C# minorC#m           BB
I know there's a fortune coming for you
C# minorC#m
But, baby, it's not me
      F# minorF#m     E MajorE  BB
'Cause when you laid my body down
 F# minorF#m    E MajorE  BB
You wore my body down


Chorus:

E MajorE
Holy fire
I've been burning

In your water
I am sinking
C# minorC#m F# minorF#m
Slo--o--ow
    BB
And, darling
E MajorE
When the Earth, it started moving

I lost the air we were breathing
C# minorC#m F# minorF#m
Oh, oh, oh
C# minorC#m
I´m slo--o--ow
C# minorC#m      BB     E MajorE
I'm slo--o--ow drowning
