**Chords:**
C  G  Am  F

C                     G  
Well, the moon is a cold and lonely  
Am                     F  
Place, and I'm just a shadow of  
C                     G  
Your face. I can see you in  
Am                  F  
The distance, but I'm lost in  
C                   G  
The circus of existence.  

C                      G  
Tango till they're sore,  
Am                      F  
And dance across the floor.  
C                 G  
I can hear the music play,  
Am                   F  
But it feels so far away.  

C                   G  
And I know the night is cruel,  
Am                       F  
But the stars are shining bright.  
C                     G  
So I'll keep on dancing,  
Am                     F  
Till the morning light.  

C                     G  
With every step I take,  
Am                   F  
I feel the ache inside.  
C                     G  
But I won't stop dancing,  
Am                      F  
'Cause that's how I survive.
