Verse 1:

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

Verse 2:

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


Chorus:

E
Holy fire
I've been burning

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

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

C#m E B

Verse 3:

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


Chorus:

E
Holy fire
I've been burning

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

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

C#m E B

Bridge:

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


Chorus:

E
Holy fire
I've been burning

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

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