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

Em  D  G    G  D
Em  D  G


Chorus 3:

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

Em    A             G          A
Em    A             G          A
   Figments of imagination (figments of imagination)
