“Hey um, totally in the full heat of this one, so I haven’t bothered to tune, so I’m not at 440 here, 
eh, I dunno what to tell you, I’m in G anyway, I’m sure everybody's taking notes, uh, January 31st, 438.”

  And begins to devour its host

I dance with the ones that brought me
G   D			     C                Em  G
  I dance with the ones that brought me here

When the word comes down the wire that they’re lookin
To make an example of you
Skin and bones around the campfire beneath the stars
No good end in view
                
I dance with the ones that brought me
I dance with the ones that brought me here

Am   C		            G
   I dance in the dark all alone
Am   C			      G
   I dance for the god on the throne
Am		 C	      Em	   C
And if they come catch me and arrest me midstep
G                                              D
Let me go down dancing, let me be the last one left

Crushed like a seashell by a seaside warrior’s foot
Trying to turn the tide
When the hunger is all that holds you together
Who do you want by your side

I dance with the ones that brought me (yeah)
I dance with the ones that brought me here
