Verse 1:

Em   A     G    A
  On a walk in a fragile state
Em    A      G    G  D
  Weird angle coming over the wire
Em   A      G    A
  Back home we got girls in braids
        G     A        C           C D
  And they're on roller skates, and they roll any way they like

Em     A     G      A
  From my town I can always look down
Em       A      G      G    D
  Down from my nose to the fish in the barrels
Em      A    G   A
  But in the wiles of human life
     G    A     C          C D
  There are pity nights and ray of gentle lights


Chorus 1:

Em   A   C     A
  So tonight, dance and cry
C      G  G D Em
  The dead alive


Verse 2:

Em   A     G    A
  Monuments were awfully dense
Em    A    G      G    D
  I flew by in a daze on the freeway
Em    A      G     A
  He can whine of our different times
   G    A       C           C D
  But me, I'm fine with the mirrors this far away


Em     A      G     A
  With the pills in our bodies to function
Em      A      G       G  D
  Rain gonna fall on the hills where we hide
Em     A       G      A
  Wash the blood and the guts to the ocean
G      A      C         C D
  Leave the pike making everything alright


Chorus 2:

Em   A   C     A
  So tonight, dance and cry
C      G  G D Em
  The dead alive
