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]
E       A     C         A
   So tonight, dance and cry

C            G    G  D  Em
   The dead alive
[Musical Interlude] Em D G G D Em D G [Chorus 3]
G       A     C         A
   So tonight, dance and cry

C            G    G  D  Em
   The dead alive
