  			D                  Dmaj7 
thought I had a clue 
                     D 
it was passing by 
D                  Dmaj7 
thought I had an answer 
               D 
it was just a sigh 
D                       Dmaj7 
thought I had a dream once 
                D 
don't remember what 
D                               Dmaj7 
your voice cut straight through me 
                    D 
right down to my bones 
D                   Dmaj7 
like a winters wind it 
                D 
knocked out my soul 
D                         Dmaj7 
thought i had some time here 
                D 
left my watch home 
D                     Dmaj7 
thought i had ideas once 
                  D 
they were all unknown 
D                         Dmaj7 
thought i conquered something  
                D 
but it took me down  
D                          Dmaj7 
what i thought i heard clearly 
              D 
it wasn't sound 
D                           Dmaj7 
thought i felt your heart beat 
                         D 
it was just my kind of tune 
D                   Dmaj7 
and to what gods will 
                 D 
my life be a mantel

A                   G 
I can hear you crying  
            D  Dsus4   D  Dsus2 D 
and I'm crying too 
A                       G 
The world might be lying  
           D  Dsus4   D  Dsus2 D 
but so are you 
A                  G 
I can see you dancing 
                     D  Dsus4   D  Dsus2 D 
if you just take the step 
A                           G 
you might still have it in you 
                    D  Dsus4   D  Dsus2 D 
give yourself the benefit 
A                     G 
and dance slow decades 
               D  Dsus4   D  Dsus2 D 
don't let the sun 
A               G                D  Dsus4   D  Dsus2 D 
even when you're the only one 
A                 G 
don't look around 
              D 
it's not right 
Dsus4   D  Dsus2 D 
it's not wrong 
A                       G        D  Dsus4   D  Dsus2 D 
dance because you know this song 
A                   G            D  Dsus4   D  Dsus2 D 
I've danced because I know this one 

A       G      Em     G        D  Dsus4   D  Dsus2 D 
A       G      Em     G        D  Dsus4   D  Dsus2 D 
A       G      Em     G        D  Dsus4   D  Dsus2 D 
A       G      Em     G        D  Dsus4   D  Dsus2 D
