Dance Before The Storm

          Em                       
These are dangerous times we live 
     Asus2                Bm
in I heard a man once say
          Em                       
If you're prone to flights of fancy
        Asus2           Bm
 Your dreams can fly away
          Em                
See the sights around you Of 
    Asus2          Bm
breakdown and decay
          Em                     
Wrought by the greed for a better 
          Asus2           Bm
life For which you have to pay

         D                         
Will you dance before the storm, 
             Bm                   
and don't look back to where 
Asus2
you've been
       D                         
The horizon's getting further, as 
     Bm                Asus2
the sands of time run thin
         D                         
Will you dance before the storm as 
        Bm           Asus2
the machinery breaks down?
    D                          
You watch the sky go black with 
            Bm             Asus2
anger, but no-one makes a sound

[VERSE II]
      Em                       
From Glasgow town to London, 
Asus2             Bm
Down the motorways
         Em                        
There's people standing in the rain
   Asus2            Bm
 looking for any way
  Em                               
To take them down to where they're 
              Asus2            Bm
bound, It's part of another way

  Em                           
From Albion Hill to the old 
Asus2                       Bm
chain pier You can hear a person say
 Em

Em                                
And if your head spins around - go
              Asus2             
 underground Away from the games 
          Bm
they play
Em                                
There's people down there are

trying to care And let each one 
           Bm

It's not revolution tactics It's 
     Asus2             Bm
not cause for anarchy
       Em                          
Just a natural fight for a natural

life Of which systems are afraid
   Em                            
And if it all surrounds you Seems 
   Asus2             Bm
like there's no escape
          Em                       
And there's people stood in front 
              Asus2               Bm
of you Saying do it in their way
Em                                
Turn your eyes towards the tides 
    Asus2                Bm
See how they never change
