[Verse 1]
C                   E7
I'm in a bunker now,   smoking a cigarette
F                       D
 I'd take my helmet off   but the war's not over yet
C                        E7
 Slow my trembling hands,   slow my wanting heart
F                    D
 Keep me calm 'til I   find a way to start


[Chorus]
C            F            C                F
 It's always hard to find   the courage to start dancing
C           G           F         C
 But I am determined to   take my chances
C                 F            C                F
 But peace can be hard to find   in all this misunderstanding
C       G           F         C
 I am determined to   take my chances


[Interlude]

| C   F   | C   G   | Am   F   | G   C   |


[Verse 2]
C                 E7
 I get hypnotized,   I pretend I'm smart
F                           D
 I'm always looking out for   my getaway car
C                            E7
 Some days are bound to hurt    but which ones we'll never know
F                            D
 Some days you catch a break,  some days you don't


[Chorus]
C            F            C                F
 It's always hard to find   thе courage to keep on dancing
C       G           F         C
 I am determinеd to   take my chances
C             F            C                F
 Peace can be hard to find   in all this misunderstanding
C           G           F         C
 But I am determined to   take my chances

[Interlude]
| C   F   | C   G   | Am   F   | D       |


[Outro]
C            F            C                F
 It's always hard to find   the courage to keep on dancing
C         G           F          C
 We are determined to   take our chances
