F                           Am
Here shall we live in this terrible town
           F
Where the price for our eyes
                    Am
Shall squeeze them tight like a fist
         F
And the walls shall have eyes
         Am
And the doors shall have ears
         F
But we'll dance in their dark
              Am
And they'll play with our lives

      Dm
Like a slow burn
           F
Leading us on and on and on
      Dm
Like a slow burn
            F
Turning us round and round and round
Bb
Hark who are we
             Gm
So small in times such as these
      F    Am
Slow burn
    F    Am
Slow burn

     F
Oh, these are the days
                 Am
These are the strangest of all
  F
These are the nights
               Am
These are the darkest to fall
     F
But who knows?
           Am
Echoes in tenement halls
 F
Who knows?
                Am
Though the years snare them all

      Dm
Like a slow burn
           F
Leading us on and on and on
      Dm
Like a slow burn
             F
Twirling us round and round and upside down
         Bb
There's fear overhead
         Gm
There's fear overground
      F    Am
Slow burn
    F    Am
Slow burn

      Dm
Like a slow burn
           F
Leading us on and on and on
      Dm
Like a slow burn
            F
Turning us round and round and round
     Bb
And here are we
        Gm
At the center of it all
      F   Am
Slow burn
      F   Am
Slow burn
      F   Am
Slow burn
