[C]Standing, on the [F] edge of forever
[Am]At the start of whatever
[Em]Shouting love at the world
[C]Back then, we [F]were like cavemen
[Am]We'd beam at the moon and the stars
[Em]Then we forgave them

[Dm]We will meet you [F]where the lights are
[Am]The defenders, of [Em] the faith we are
[Dm]Where the thunder turns around
[F]They'll run so hard we'[Am]ll tear the ground away

[Dm]You know [A]no one dies
[Dm]In these love [A] drowned eyes
[Dm]Through our [A]love drowned eyes
[Esus4]We'll watch you [E] sleep tonight

[F]Although no [C]one understood
[Am]We were holding back the flood
[Em]Learning how to dance the rain
[F]We were holding [C] back the flood
[G]They said we'd never dance again

[C]Bleeding, but [F]none of us leaving
[Am]Watch your mouth son
[Em]Or you'll find yourself floating home

[Dm]Here we come now [F] on a dark star
[Am]Seeing demons, [Em]not what we are
[Dm]Tiny minds and eager hands
[F]Will try to strike [Am]but now will end today

[Dm]There's [A]progress now
[Dm]Where there [A]once was none
[Dm]Where there [A]once was ah
[Esus4]Then [E]everything came along

[F]Although no [C]one understood
[Am]We were holding back the flood
[Em]Learning how to dance the rain
[F]There was more [C]of them than us
[G]Now they'll never dance again

[F]Although no [C]one understood
[Am]There was more of them than us
[Em]Learning how to dance the rain
[F]We were holding [C] back the flood
[G]They said we'd never dance again
