[Verse 1]
Em A G D
On a walk in a fragile state
Em A G G D
Weird angles coming over the wire
Em A G D
Back home we got girls in braids
G D C C D
They're on roller skates, and they roll any way they like
Em A G D
From my town I can always look down
Em A G G D
Down from my nose at the fish in the barrels
Em A G D
But in the wilds of human life
G D C C D Em
There are pretty knives, an array of gentle eyes
[Chorus 1]
E A C A
So tonight, dance and cry
C G G D Em
The dead alive
[Verse 2]
Em A G D
Monuments to awful events
Em A G G D
I float by in a daze on the freeway
Em A G A
He can whine about different times
G D C C D
But me, I'm fine with the mirrors far away
Em A G D
For the mills in the valleys to function
Em A G G D
Rain gonna fall on the hills where we hike
Em A G D
Wash the blood and the guts to the ocean
G D C C D Em
Feed the pike making everything alright
[Chorus 2]

So tonight, dance and cry
