Intro C#m F# A C#m Badd9 F# A C#
 
[Verso 1]
 
C#m F# A C#m
This is a waltz thinking about our bodies
Badd9 F# A C#
What they mean for our salvation
C#m F# A C#m
With only the clothes that we stand up in
Badd9 F# A C#
Just the ground on which we stand
C#m F# A C#m
Is the darkness ours to take?
Badd9 F# A C#
Bathed in lightness, bathed in heat
 
( G#m A G#m F#m C#m )
 
[Verso 2]
 
C#m G#m A G#m F#m C#m
All is well as long as we keep spinning
C#m G#m A G#m F#m C#m
Here and now, dancing behind a wall
C#m G#m A G#m F#m C#m
When the old songs and laughter we do
C#m G#m
All forgiven
A G#m F#m C#m C# C#m
Always and never been true
 
[Verso 3]
 
C#m F# A C#m
When I arrive will you come and find me
Badd9 F# A C#
Or in a crowd be one of them?
C#m F# A C#m
Mother whant us, back beside her
Badd9 F# A C#
Know tomorrow's at peace
 
( G#m A G#m F#m C#m )
