D                           G
Standing, on the edge of forever
                   Bm
At the start of whatever
                     F#m
Shouting love at the world
D                        G
Back then, we were like cavemen
               Bm
But we met the moon and the stars
           F#m
Then we forgave them

Em                 G
We will meet you where the lights are
Bm           F#m
The defenders, of the faith we are
Em
Where the thunder turns around
         G                                 Bm
They'll run so hard we'll tear the ground away

         Em      B
You know no one dies
         Em           B
In these love drowned eyes
            Em           B
Through our love drowned eyes
                F#sus4       F#
We'll watch you sleep tonight

Chorus:
G                      D
Although no one understood
                          Bm
We were holding back the flood
                          F#m
Learning how to dance the rain
G                           D
We were holding back the flood
                             A
They said we'd never dance again

Bleeding, but none of us leaving
Watch your mouth son
Or you’ll find yourself floating home

Here we come now on a dark star
Seeing demons, not what we are
Tiny minds and eager hands will try
to strike but now will end today

There’s progress now
Where there once was none
Where there once was none
Then everything came along

Chorus:
Although no one understood
We were holding back the flood
Learning how to dance the rain
There was more of them than us
Now they’ll never dance again
Although no one understood
There was more of them than us
Learning how to dance the rain
We were holding back the flood
They said we’d never dance again

We will meet you where the lights are
The defendants of the faith we are
When the thunder turns around
they’ll run so hard we’ll tear the ground away

Chorus:
Although no one understood
There was more of them than us
Learning how to dance the rain
(Learning how to dance the rain)
There was more of them than us
Now they’ll never dance again
Now we’ll never dance again.
