G C
Keep a fire burning in your eye
G C
Pay attention to the open sky
G C G D
You never know what will be coming down
G C
I don't remember losing track of you
G C
You were always dancing in and out of view
G C G D
I must've thought you'd always be around
Em C G
Always keeping things real by playing the clown
D
Now you're nowhere to be found
[Instrumental]
G C G D
[Verse 2]
G C
I don't know what happens when people die
G C
Can't seem to grasp it as hard as I try
(F) G C
It's like a song I can hear playing right in my ear
G D
That I can't sing - I can't help listening
G C
And I can't help feeling stupid standing 'round
G C
Crying as they ease you down
G C G
'Cause I know that you'd rather we were dancing
D Em
Dancing our sorrow away
C
Right on dancing
G D
No matter what fate chooses to play
G
There's nothing you can do about it anyway
[Bridge]
C G
Just do the steps that you've been shown
C G D
By everyone you've ever known
Em G7
Until the dance becomes your very own
C D
No matter how close to yours
Em C
Another's steps have grown
G D
In the end there is one dance you'll do alone
[Instrumental]
G C G D
[Verse 3]
G C
Keep a fire for the human race
G C
Let your prayers go drifting into space
G C G D
You never know what will be coming down
G C
Perhaps a better world is drawing near
G C
And just as easily it could all disappear
G C G D
Along with whatever meaning you might have found
Em C G
Don't let the uncertainty turn you around
The world keeps turning around and around
D G
Go on and make a joyful sound
[Bridge]
C G
Into a dancer you have grown
C G D
From a seed somebody else has thrown
Em G7 C
Go on ahead and throw some seeds of your own
C D Em
And somewhere between the time you arrive
C
And the time you go
G D
May lie the reason you were alive
But you'll never know
[Outro]
G C G D G D G
