Dance While the Sky Crashes Down Chords by Jason Webley

[Bm] _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ [E] _
[Am] _ The flowers by your bed are wilting
_ _ The sun is setting [E] in the west
_ _ A fog is covering your eyes, your stockings are attracting flies
Decay is nibbling [Am] at the boards on which you [Ab] rest
There's someone waiting at your window
_ _ Familiar face [Dm] without a name
_ _ _ One eye new, creeping [E] like the mist to touch your forehead
With a kiss it leads you back [Am] into the void
From whence we came, [F] we've all begun to die
_ [E] _ And don't know [Am] what to do
_ _ _ [F] Since it hurts to [E] pray to God
[Am] When God is dying to take [F] strength to laugh
_ [E] _ When you [Am] start to drown
_ [Dm] _ _ _ And [Am] we dance while [E] the sky _ [Am] crashes down
_ _ _ Like that the earth begins to quiver
_ _ And all the oceans turn to black
_ A ship of maniacs with knives
Are playing blackjack with their lives
To kill the time [Am] until the giant rats attack
It's raining leprosy and acid
_ _ The saints were [Dm] taken out and shot
_ _ When someone [E] proffers you a pair
You sink your teeth in unaware that just beneath the [Am] skin lies
_ Pestilence and [F] rot
We've all begun to die
_ _ [E] _ And don't know [Am] what to do
_ _ _ _ [F] Since it hurts to pray [E] to God
_ [Am] When God is dying to take strength [F] to laugh
_ [E] _ When you [Am] start to drown
_ [Dm] _ _ _ [Am] And we _ dance [E] while the sky _ [Am] crashes down
_ _ _ [E] _ _ [Am] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ [G] _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ [Em] _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ [Dm] _
_ All _ _ that [Am]
now _ _ breathes
_ _ [E]
And all _ _ that [Am] you love
_ _ _ [A] _ _ [Dm] _
_ _ _ All that [Am] we _ wish
_ _ _ _ [E] _
Will find its way back to the dust
_ [Am] A band of skeletons are playing
_ _ Don't act like you don't [E] know the tune
_ _ Your part is echoed in the path of every deadly flow
And passed against a [Am] counterpoint reflected off them
There is a banquet at the table
_ _ _ Exotic cheeses, [Dm] wines and cakes
_ And every [Am] one of us is damned until we [E] start to understand
That living is to gorge ourselves and our own [F] wicks
We've all begun to die
_ [E] _ And don't know what [Am] to do
_ _ _ _ Since [F] it hurts to pray [E] to God _
[Am] When God is dying to [F] take strength to laugh
_ [E] _ When you [Am] start to drown
_ [Dm] _ _ _
And [Am] we dance while [E] the sky crashes [Am] down
_ _ When the [F] stakes are high
_ [E] _ Best to play the [Am] clown
_ _ [Dm] _ _
_ _ And [Am] we _ dance while [E] the sky _ _ _ crashes [F] _ _ down _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ [Am] _
