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

When the Earth, it started moving

I lost the air we were breathing

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
