Tom: E
E A
[Verse 1]
E A
Cue the music, let it build
E A
the melancholy soundtrack of a summer indie film
E A
I'm the quirky, unconventional leading guy
E A B
I say stupid garbage no one’s ever said in their real life
A
like "I've been taking bigger breaths lately
B A
cause you told me not to hold it waiting for you to commit"
[Chorus]
E A
Slow Burn
B A E
I'd trade a kiss from her for a laugh to pass your lips
A
Slow Burn
B A E
My heart goes pitter-patter, pitter-patter; batter up, I'm up next
A B A E
Slow Burn, Slow Burn ‘cause it’s the only light I know
A B A E
while there’s hope for you and me, I burn real slow
[Verse 2]
E A
So let’s stay home tonight my love
E A
I don't like crowded rooms or the silly folk that fill them up
E A
my introversion's not a charming trait
E A
my wits not good for much but thinking up useless stuff to say
B A
Like "My hopes are sleeping quietly in bed
B A
cause you told me not to get them up dreamin’ one day you'd commit!"
[Chorus]
E A
Slow Burn
B A E
I'd trade a kiss from her for a laugh to pass your lips
A
Slow Burn
B A E
My heart goes pitter-patter, pitter-patter; batter up, I'm up next
A B A E
Slow Burn, Slow Burn ‘cause it’s the only light I know
A B A E
while there’s hope for you and me, I burn real slow
[Solo]
E A E B
E A B B
[Bridge]
E A
I didn't know better, so I didn't better
B A
I held onto hope when it's best I forget her
E A
I didn't know better, so I didn't better
B A
Love has a spirit and I followed the letter
E A
I didn't know better, so I didn't better
B A
I've loved her so long and I can't quite remember
E A
that all of my eggs in her basket won't hatch
B A
but I've counted each one and now I want 'em all back!
[Chorus]
E A
Slow Burn
B A E
I'd trade a kiss from her for a laugh to pass your lips
A
Slow Burn
B A E
My heart goes pitter-patter, pitter-patter; batter up, I'm up next
A B A E
Slow Burn, Slow Burn ‘cause it’s the only light I know
A B A E
while there’s hope for you and me, I burn real slow
