[Verse 1]
[Em]The smile [C]of dawn arrived early [Em]May
She carried a gift from her home
[C]The night shed a tear to tell her of [Em]fear
And of sorrow and pain
She'll never outgrow
Death is the first dance,
etern[G]al[Bm]

[Verse 2]
There's no more [Bm]freedom[G][Bm]
The both of you will [Em]be
Con[C]fined [G]to [F#]this [Em]mind[E]
[Em][E][F#sus4]
I was told there's [G]a miracle
[Em]for each day that I [G]try[Bm]
[F#]I was to[F#sus4]ld there's a new love[G]
That's born for [Em]each one
that has [G]died[F#m]
[F#sus4]I was told there'd be no one t[Bm]o[G]
Call on when [Em]I feel alone
[Asus4]and afraid[Bm]
[F#m]I was told[Bm] if y[G]ou dream
of the next world
You'll find your[F#m]self
[G]swimming in a [Em]lake of [Bm]fire

[Verse 3]
As a child, I thought [Bm]I co[G]uld
Live [Em]without pain without [D]sor[A]row
[Bm]As a man I've [G]found it's
all caught [Em]up with me
I'm [D]asleep yet [A]I'm so

[Interlude 1]
afraid
[Em][G][Em]

[Verse 4]
[C]Somewhere like a scene
from a [Em]memory
There's a picture worth
a thousand word[G]s
[C]Eluding stares from fac[Em]es befor[D]e me[G]
[Em]It hides away and will never
be heard [G]of again[C]
Deceit is the second without [D]en [G]d

[Verse 5]
[Bm]The city's cold blood teaches
[Bsus4]us to sur[Bm]vive[G][Bm]
Just keep your heart in my eyes
and we'll [Em]stay [Am]alive[C]
The [G]third [Em]ar r[E]ives
[Em]

[Verse 6]
[Bm]Before the [G]leaves have [Em]fallen[D]
[Bm]Before we [G]lock the [Em]door [D]s
[Bm]There must be th[G]e
third and last dance
This one will [D]last [A]forever[Bm]
Metropolis watches
and thoughtfully [Em]smiles
She's taken you [D]to your [A]home[Bb]

[Verse 7]
It can only [C]take a place
When [Gm]the struggle between
Our [Dm]children has [F]ended
Now the [C]miracle and the
Sleep[D#]er know t[Bbsus4]hat
[Bb]the third is l[F]ove
[C]Love is the dance of Etern[D]ity
