[F] [Bb] [F]
[Bb] [F]
Keep a [Bb] fire burning in your [F] eyes
Pay attention [Bb] to the open sky
[F]
You never [Bb] know what will be coming [F]
now
[C] [F]
[Bb] Losing track of [F] you
You're always dancing [Bb] in and out of [F] view
I must have thought [Bb] you would always be [F]
around
[Dm] Always [Bb] keeping things real by the [F] faith of a clown
[C] Now you're nowhere [F] to be found
[Bb] I've [F]
[Bb] seen people die
[F]
Can't seem to grasp [Bb] it as hard as I try
[F] It's like a song I can hear [Bb] playing right in my ear
[F] But I can't sing, I [C] can't help listening
[F] Feeling [Bb] stupid standing [F] around
[Bb] Crying is easier said
[F] Cause I know that you [Bb] would rather we [F] be dancing
[C] Dancing our [Dm] song away
[C] Right [Bb] on, we're dancing
[F]
No matter [C] what's wrong with you [F]
anyway
[Bb] Just do the steps [F] that you think you're shown
[Bb] For everyone [F] you ever [C] know
[Dm]
Until the dance [F] becomes your [Bb] very own
No matter [C] how close the yards [Dm]
and other steps [Bb] have grown
[F] In the end there is [C] one dance you'll [F] be known
[Bb] [F]
[Bb] [F]
[Bb] [F]
[Gm] [F]
Keep a fire [Bb] for the human [F] race
Let your prayers [Bb] go to den and to [F] space
You never know [Bb] what will be coming [F]
down
[C] [F]
Perhaps a better [Bb] world is drawing [F] near
Just as [Bb] easy if you'd all disappear
[F]
Along with whatever [Bb] meaning you [F] might have found
[C] [Dm]
[Am] Don't let [Bb] the uncertainty turn [F] you around
[C] Go and make your [F] journey's start
[Bb] Into a [F] dancer you have grown
[Bb] For the speed somebody [F]
else has flown
[C] [Dm]
Go ahead, [F] live [Bb] your own
And [C] somewhere between the time [Dm] you arrived
And the time [Bb] you go
May [F] lie a reason you were [C] alive
But you'll [F] never know
[Bb] [F] [Bb] [F]
[Bb] [F]
[Bb] [F]
