Chords

[Verse]
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.
[Chorus]
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.
[Verse]
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.
[Chorus]
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.
[Post Chorus + Bridge] Am F Am F
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 [Chorus] 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.
