          Em                            Asus2               Bm
These are dangerous times we live in I heard a man once say

          Em                               Asus2           Bm
If you're prone to flights of fancy your dreams can fly away

          Em                    Asus2          Bm
See the sights around you of breakdown and decay

          Em                               Asus2           Bm
Wrought by the greed for a better life for which you have to pay
[Chorus]
         D                                      Bm                   Asus2
Will you dance before the storm, and don't look back to where you've been

       D                              Bm                Asus2

Will you dance before the storm as the machinery breaks down?

    D                                      Bm             Asus2
You watch the sky go black with anger, but no one makes a sound
[Verse II]
      Em                      Asus2             Bm
From Glasgow town to London, down the motorways

         Em                          Asus2             Bm
There's people standing in the rain looking for any way

   Em                                              Asus2              Bm
To take them down to where they're bound, it's all part of another way

                Em              Asus2           Bm
It's called the art of survival in a modern age
[Chorus]
         D                                      Bm                   Asus2
Will you dance before the storm, and don't look back to where you've been

The horizon's getting further, as the sands of time run thin

         D                                 Bm           Asus2
Will you dance before the storm as the machinery breaks down?

    D                                      Bm             Asus2
You watch the sky go black with anger, but no one makes a sound
[Fiddle Solo] A G x4 Em A Bm x4 [Verse III]
     Em                                        Asus2             Bm
From Albion Hill to the old chain pier you can hear a person say

Em                                      Asus2                Bm
Spare some change for all me pains, the world has gone astray

Em                                           Asus2                  Bm
Down the road another flat got burnt where a friend of mine once stayed

    Em                                Asus2             Bm
So another squat in Brighton needs to hide another head

            Em                                 Asus2                     Bm
And if your head spins around go underground, away from the games they play

        Em                                               Asus2                 Bm
There's people down there who are trying to care and let each one have their say

         Em                           Asus2             Bm
It's not revolution tactics, it's not cause for anarchy

            Em                                            Asus2             Bm
It's just a natural fight for a natural life of which the systems are afraid

    Em                             Asus2               Bm
And if it all surrounds you, seems like there's no escape

            Em                                  Asus2             Bm
And there's people stood in front of you saying do it in their way

Em                                        Asus2             Bm
Turn your eyes towards the tides and see how they never change

    Em                                            Asus2            Bm
The sands of time will break their mind just like riding on a wave
[Chorus]
         D                                      Bm                   Asus2
Will you dance before the storm, and don't look back to where you've been

       D                              Bm                Asus2
The horizon's getting further, as the sands of time run thin

         D                                 Bm           Asus2
Will you dance before the storm as the machinery breaks down?

    D                                      Bm             Asus2
You watch the sky go black with anger, but no one makes a sound

         D                                      Bm                   Asus2
Will you dance before the storm, and don't look back to where you've been

The horizon's getting further, as the sands of time run thin

         D                                 Bm           Asus2
Will you dance before the storm as the machinery breaks down?

    D                                      Bm             Asus2
You watch the sky go black with anger, but no one makes a sound
