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.
