(This dance) is like a weapon, is like a weapon
G#m       C#m  G#m         C#m
Of self defense, of self defense

I won't get heavy, don't get heavy
E       D#m       E         G# 
Keep it light and, keep it moving
E    D#m   E   F#

Or all this love, will be in vain

Stop from falling, down a mine
It's no one's business, but mine
That all this love, could be in vain

In you I'm lost

In you I'm lost
            E  C#
In you I'm lost
