In the belly of the beast 
And with her song in your heart, it can never bring you down

Lost in a maze of a thousand rainy days 
Of a thousand rainy days 
But when I heard her voice, oh it led me to the end 
Yes it led me to the end 


                Am             Em 
'Cause when she sings I hear a symphony 
        F                        C/G            G 
And I'm swallowed in sound as it echoes through me 
       Am             Em                F 
I'm renewed, oh how I feel like through autumn's advancing 
      C/G            G 
We'll stay young, go dancing

Bridge: 
G            F      G                Am 
As the music plays, feel our bodies' sway 
G               F          
When we move as one, we stay young (Go dancing) 


Verse 3: use verse riff through-out 

Life is sweet in the belly of the beast 
In the belly of the beast 
And when with her song in your heart, oh it can never bring you down 
It can never bring you down 

 
'Cause when she sings I hear a symphony 
And I'm swallowed in sound as it echoes through me 
I'm renewed, oh how I feel like through winter's advancing 
We'll stay young go dancing 
Stay young go dancing 
Stay young go dancing
