'Cause I have wandered through this world

For A Dancer

C
F
Keep a fire burning in your eye
C
F
Pay attention to the open sky
C
F
C
G
You never know what will be coming down
C
F
I don't remember losing track of you
C
F
You were always dancing in and out of view
C
F
C
G
I must've thought you'd always be around
Am
F
C
Always keeping things real by playing the clown
G
Now you're nowhere to be found
C
F
C
G
C
F
I don't know what happens when people die
C
F
Can't seem to grasp it as hard as I try (
F
)
C
F
It's like a song I can hear playing right in my ear
C
G
That I can't sing - I can't help listening
C
F
And I can't help feeling stupid standing 'round
C
F
Crying as they ease you down
C
F
C
'Cause I know that you'd rather we were dancing
G
Am
Dancing our sorrow away
F
Right on dancing
C
G
No matter what fate chooses to play
C
There's nothing you can do about it anyway
F
C
Just do the steps that you've been shown
F
C
G
By everyone you've ever known
Am
C7
Until the dance becomes your very own
F
G
No matter how close to yours
Am
F
Another's steps have grown
C
G
In the end there is one dance you'll do alone
C
F
C
G
Keep a fire for the human race Let your prayers go drifting into space You never know what will be coming down Perhaps a better world is drawing near And just as easily it could all disappear Along with whatever meaning you might have found
Am
F
C
Don't let the uncertainty turn you around The world keeps turning around and around
G
C
Go on and make a joyful sound
F
C
Into a dancer you have grown
F
C
G
From a seed somebody else has thrown
Am
C7
F
Go on ahead and throw some seeds of your own
F
G
Am
And somewhere between the time you arrive
F
And the time you go
C
G
May lie the reason you were alive But you'll never know

A
And as the evening descends
G
F#
E
I sit thinking 'bout everyman Seems like I've always been looking for some other place To get it together Where with a few of my friends I could give up the race And maybe find something better But all my fine dreams Well though out schemes to gain the motherland Have all eventually come down to waiting for everyman

It would be easier sometimes to change the past

Gonna pack my lunch in the morning, and go to work each day
G

And when the evening rolls around,
G
C
I'll go on home and lay my body down
G

And when the morning light comes streaming in
C
G
Am
G
I'll get up and do it again Amen
C
G
Am
G
Say it again Amen
G
I want to know what became of the changes,
C
We waited for love to bring
G
Were they only the fitful dreams
D
C
Of some greater awakening
G
C
I've been aware of the time going by
G
C
They say in the end it's the wink of an eye
G

And when the morning light comes streaming in

I'll get up and do it again Amen

Caught between the longing for love
C
Em
B7
And the struggle for the legal tender
C
Where the sirens sing and the church bells ring
Em
C
And the junkman pounds his fender
G

Where the veterans dream of the fight,
B7

Fast asleep at the traffic light
A7

And the children solemnly wait for the ice cream vendor
Em

Out into the cool of the evening, strolls the pretender

He knows that all his hopes an dreams

Begin and end there

Ah the lovers as they run through the night
C
Em
Leaving nothing but to choose off and fight
D
G

And tear at the world with all their might
G
Em
While the ships bearing their dreams
G
D
Sail out of sight
D
G
I'm gonna find myself a girl,
C
Who can show me what laughter means
G
Then we'll fill in the missing colors in each others
D
C
Paint by number dreams
G
C
And then we'll put our dark glasses on
G
C
And we'll make love until our strength is gone
G

And when the morning light comes streaming in

We'll get up and do it again Amen

Get it up again Amen

To the heart and the soul of the spender

And believe in whatever may lie
B7

In those things that money can buy

Though true love could have been a contender

Are you there, say a prayer for the pretender

Well, I sat her down right next to me and I got her a beer

And when they walked offstage, the drummer swept that girl away
A

But Rosie your alright (you wear my ring)
A
E

When you hold me tight (Rosie, that's my thing)
A

When you turn out the lights (I got to hand it to me)

Could've told my imagination not to run too far

With all the times that I've been burned, by now you'd think I'd learned

That it's who you look like, not who you are
