 F#m         A                    Em Bm
What in the world are we going to do?
         F#m              A           Em Bm
Look at what everybody's going through
F#m           A                      Em Bm
What kind of world do you want it to be?
         F#m            A      G F#m
am I the future or the history?

Chorus:
 D              F#m               A  Em
'Cause everyone hurts, everyone cries
D         F#m                  A        Em
Everyone tells each other all kinds of lies
D         F#m               A         Em
Everyone falls, everybody dreams and doubts
             F#m              A          Em Bm
Got to keep dancing when the lights go out

How in the world I am going to see
You as my brother, not my enemy

Chorus:
'Cause everyone hurts, everyone cries
Everyone sees the colour in each other's eyes
Everyone loves, everybody gets
their hearts ripped out
Got to keep dancing when the lights go out
Gonna keep dancing when the lights go out
Hold tight for everyday life
Hold tight for everyday life

       F#m    A             Em            Bm
And at first light throw my arms out open wide
     A         G Bm
Alleluia, alleluia
     A                   G D
Allelu- alle- alle- alleluia
     A         G Bm
Alleluia, alleluia
     A                   G D
Allelu- alle- alle- alleluia
