[Verse 1]

C                             F
Keep a fire burning in your eye
C                             F
Pay attention to the open sky
C                               F                               C G
You never know what will be coming down

C                                     F
I don't remember losing track of you
C                                                F
You were always dancing in and out of view
C                                     F                         C G
I must've thought you'd always be around
Am                                F                                    C
Always keeping things real by playing the clown
                     G
Now you're nowhere to be found

[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]

C                                                    F
I don't know what happens when people die
C                                                F
Can't seem to grasp it as hard as I try
(F)            C                                  F
It's like a song I can hear playing right in my ear
                    C                         G
That I can't sing - I can't help listening
C                                               F
And I can't help feeling stupid standing 'round
C                      F
Crying as they ease you down
C                                        F                                C
'Cause I know that you'd rather we were dancing
G                                     Am
Dancing our sorrow away
F
Right on dancing
C                          G
No matter what fate chooses to play
                                                             C
There's nothing you can do about it anyway

[Bridge]

         F                         C
Just do the steps that you've been shown
      F                       C                G
By everyone you've ever known
Am                                C7
Until the dance becomes your very own
F                         G
No matter how close to yours
Am                                      F
Another's steps have grown
            C                       G
In the end there is one dance you'll do alone

[Instrumental]
