But Tonight We Dance

	  		
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. 

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 
Tomorrow we might wake  
C               Em 
in servitude and service 
Am               F 
I will give you everything 
C                 Em 
if only you would have me. 

Am                F 
Tomorrow we will sweat and toil, 
C                     Em 
Our hands will quiver caked with soil, 
Am                      F 
Tomorrow we'll give it one last chance, 
C 
But tonight we dance, 
E             Am 
But tonight we dance 


Am F C G Am F C E 


And for  
F             G 
this, I travel 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
