Am F
Breathe deep and easy
G Am
Swallow this pride.
F G
Stare at my shaking hands
E Am
through bone dry, blood shot eyes.
Am F
Clock strips the hours,
G Am
I count the miles.
F G
Will you be there waiting,
E Am
awake until sunrise.
F G
I've traveled in darkness,
E Am
for what seems like days,
F G
I crawl from the sinkholes,
E Am
collapsed under this weight.
F G
I know not your sorrow,
E Am
but I know mine,
F
So say you'll stay
G Am
and dance with me tonight.
Am F
In the glow of twilight,
G Am
our world is finally calm.
F G
I felt it complete me,
E Am
when the stars give way to dawn.
Am F
A language universal,
G Am
but I speak not its tongue.
F G
Is this a night that spans forever,
E Am
or a dawn that never comes.

Tomorrow we might wake

I will give you everything
C Em
if only you would have me.

Tomorrow we will sweat and toil,

Our hands will quiver caked with soil,

Tomorrow we'll give it one last chance,

But tonight we dance,
E Am
But tonight we dance
