 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
