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.
