Am
Sometimes we laugh like children
F
Go running holding hands
Am
I never felt like this before,
F
I never will again
Am
Sometimes we cry like babies
F
I hold you to my heart.
 Am                          F
I just can't stand to see you sad,
       G
It tears me all apart

[Chorus]
            Am                                 
And we're so afraid and it's such a shame,
                  F                             
There is no reason we should doubt it.
 G                                       D     E       
The things we want to say we've never said!
       Am                               
And we look away and it's all OK and
    F                          
Never really talk about it
          G                               D     E        
It's a shame the way we dance along the edge
Am                        F
Dance along the edge.

[Verse]
Am
We always seem so careful,
 F
We're always so unsure.
Am                                             F             G
Our past mistakes they make us shaky, eyes on the door.
         Am
When do we stop searching
     F
For what we're searching for?
       Am                             F                  G      D
Then when it comes, we question love and try for more!

[Chorus]
          Am                         
And we're happy here, but we live in fear
              F                         
We've seen a lot of temples crumble.
          G                                D    E             
Some of flesh and blood from love under glass.
         Am                                    
Will we come undone? Will we turn and run?
              F                                
And will we know it when we find it?
         G                               D     E      
It's a game the way we dance along the edge

[Chorus/Bridge]
        Am                                    
And we'll walk the line and we'll do our time
              F                                   D
For just as long as we've been given,
       G                                           D      E
And pretend that we don't hear the things they've said.
           Am                                 
Can we promise love? Is it all too much
             F                             
And do our old souls still believe it?
        G                                D      E 
It's insane the way we dance along the edge.

[Outro]
Am                      G
Dance along the edge
F                           D
Dance along the edge
Am                        G
Dance along the edge
F                            D
Dance along the edge
( fades out)
