She’s got that dark hair 
  6   6    -6   6    6   5-44
fall-in’ cross her shoul-ders.
   3     4 -4  5  5  -4
There’s not a man a-live 
  4    4    4   4  -3”  5   5-44
that would-n’t want to hold her.
 5   6   6   6  -6 6     6   6  -6   6   5-44
And the way she moves, just the way she moves
  5   -4  5-44  3   5  5  -4 4  4  4-4 5
That’s e-nough to keep me on a slow burn
 5   5  -4 4  4  -3”3-2”
Keep me on a slow burn

5   6    6   -6
In her high heels, 
  6   6    -6   6   6   5 -44
Kick-in’ ‘cross a dance floor 
  3     4  -4 5 5   4  4   4   4  4   5 5-44
She’s more wom-an than I could ev-er ask for
  5     6       6    6   -6  6    6
Still there’s some-thing in her eyes,
-6   6     6   5-44   5     5   5-44
In those dark eyes.  And that’s love.
 3  3     5  5  -4 4   4  4-4 5
And it keeps me on a slow burn
 5   5  -4 4  4  -3”3-2” 
Keep me on a slow burn
  6  -7   7    7  -7 -6    6   -6
When we touch the fi-re breaks out
 6  6  -6 6 6  6  6   5  -6 6
And it rag-es out of con-trol.
 6  -7    7 7-7  -6  6  6   -6  6  -6 6
And the love we made is so deep so strong
 6    6   5   6 5-44
And when it’s ov-er,  
5  6    6   -6 -7-6 6  6-6
e-ven when it’s  ov-   er
-4   5   -5   5-44 4-44-3”
And the flame dies down, 
5   -5    5 -44-3
it just dies down
4 -3* 4   -4 5 -3”  4 -3”2-2”
To a slow burn, a slow burn

 6  -7    7 7-7  -6  6  6   -6  6   -6 6
And the love we made is so deep so strong
  6    6    5  6 5 -44
that when it’s ov- er,  
5  6    6   -6  -7-66 6-6 
e-ven when it’s  ov-   er
-4   5   -5   5-44 4-44-3”
And the flame dies down, 
5   -5    5 -44-3
it just dies down
4 -3” 4   -4 5 -3”  4 -3”3-2”
To a slow burn, a slow burn
-3” 4  -4 5 -3”  4 -3”3-2”
a slow burn  a slow burn  
-3” 4  -4 5 -3”  4 -3”3-2”
a slow burn  a slow burn
