  			Intro: D Bm D Bm 

D 
I learned to dance 

From a girl who could dance 
                             Bm       D 
Far better than I could even breathe 

I learned to fight 

From an old man who could fight 

Chase the dogs from the night 

With never having to swing 


G                     D         G 
All that I wanted was all in my mind 
               A          D 
And all that I need is to sing 


G D Bm 


D 
I learned to crash 

From a friend who could crash  
                                          Bm    D 
Stop the world in it's tracks beneath his feet   

And I learned to be kind by 

Trying hard to find it when 
                        Bm 
Fear I think comes most easily 


G                     D         G 
All that I wanted was all in my mind 
               A          D 
And all that I need is to sing 


G D Bm 

D 
I learned from a past 

When the flags were all half mast 
                                      Bm     D 
For the days when all our dreams were king 

I would learn to fade 

Like the sinking sun then they 
                D               Bm 
May help me and give me days to waste 


G                     D         G 
All that I wanted was all in my mind 
               A          D 
And all that I need is to sing 


G D Bm D Bm 

D  
I learned to die 

From a good woman who died 
                               Bm 
With her head held high in the wind 
D 
When my time arrives 

And the lights gonna leave my eyes 

It's the love that I find 
                      Bm 
That's gonna ease the sting 


G                     D         G 
All that I wanted was all in my mind 
A              F 
And all that I need... 

D                           Bm 
Ooooooh, ooooh, ooh ooh ooh oooooooh x3
