Slowburn Key: E-flat major Time: 4/4 Tempo: 135 ~~~~~~ | || | | | / / || (X 2) Verse 1: (0:28-) ~~~~~~~ We’re character actors from the Tower of Babel Be-wildered burned out hard-ly able To sit astride the high wire cable It’s hard to balance a little un-sta-ble. Through broken eyes and contact lenses I Watched you draw your future tenses See kisses of flame blow out of your lips You’re back telling me your A-pocalypse. Chorus 1: (0:57-) ~~~~~~~~ Don’t get me wrong (yeah) I’ll be strong When the slowburn sunset come along You’ve gotta stay the night | | ||6/8 I gotta think that you might. ~~~~~~~~~ | || | | | / / || (X 2) [Verse 2] (1:33-) We’ve tried a handful of bills and a handful of pills We’ve tried making movies from a volume of stills The words fell like hailstones bouncing at our feet Covering our feelings with a frozen sheet. A chance to move I take a shot I get cold - you get hot We look outside lyin’ awake See birds breaking surface on a silent lake. [Chorus 2] (2:02-) But don’t get me wrong (yeah) I’ll be strong When I’m back on the Isle of Avalon Dont get me wrong (yeah) I’ll be strong When the slow burn sunset come along You’ve got to stay the night I’ve got to think that you might.
