G                     Bm
Got to keep on going like it ain’t the end
       Em                         C
Got to change like your life is depending on it
       D         D#dim            Em
It’s a long time coming and we’re taking it in
       C      D
What a wild ruse

        G                          Bm
See the cold moon hanging like the pennant above
         Em                         Cm
Too many ice cream socials with the promise ring love
       D             D#dim          Em
Had to shoot all the targets at the carnival cause
           Adim D
You needed hard proof

       G                       Bm
I read God is dead I shed some tears for Him
      Em                            C
But I swear on his grave I’ll never do it again
      D               D#dim             Em
And I screamed when I realized what was happening
           C     D
That I had good news



[Refrain 1]
     Em                 Bm
I’ll grieve what I have lost
                   C
Forgive the firing squad
                       G
How imperfect life can be
    C         D          Em       C
Now all I can do is just dance on through



[Verse 2]
        G                            Bm
See the Coast Guard coming, save the drowning men
       Em                             Cm
Out by Catalina Island they abandoned ship
        D           D#dim         Em
All the news trucks piled up with starts and fits
            Adim  D
Coming from Point Dume

         G                           Bm
It’s the last ditch effort, makes no sense to try
         Em                         C
Put more gas on the tires, put more wood on the fire
          D         D#dim                Em
Warm your hands up ‘cause we’ll probably be here a while
                C      D
If you want the honest truth


[Refrain 2]
      Em               Bm
Don’t turn your cheek away
                     C
Please, don’t resuscitate
                       G
Make an example out of me
        C         D          Em       C
Because all I can do is just dance on through
    G
And sing


[Instrumental]
G       Bm    Em    Cm
D D#dim Em    Am    D
G       Bm    Em    Cm
D D#dim Em    Am    D
Em      C     F#dim D



[Verse 3]
      G                        Bm
Got a diamond cold heart and I got it in spades
         Em                     C
With the Walkman fading like an audio slave
       D            D#dim          Em
It’s a self-induced seizure like a kid at a rave
C                  D
Smeared in Day-Glo paint

            G                        Bm
And all the popular prophets want to take me to task
           Em                       Cm
Well, it’s just your opinion so I’d rather not ask
      D        D#dim         Em
But I got me a cane, and I’m spinning it fast
       Adim  D
As the band plays


[Refrain 3]
      Em              Bm
Don’t read my worried mind
             C                   G    B
That smoking gun passing through time
    Em               Bm
I’m yours, you can decide
               C                  G
What fate I’ll have on the firing line
Bm          C         D          Em       Cm
Because now all I can do is just dance on through
    G
And sing


[Outro]
G                     Bm
With every note there is
Em                    Cm
With every note there was
D#dim        Em
Each passing chord
Adim           D
There was only love
G                     Bm
With every step there is
Em                   C
With every step that was
D#dim     Em
Spinning around
C              D
There was only love
     G      Bm
Only love,
     Em     Cm
Only love
         D    D#dim     Em
It was a slow dance for us
Adim           D       G
There was only love
