F#
Life is sweet
In the belly of the beast,
in the belly of the beast
And with her song in your heart
It can never bring you down,
it can never bring you down

Lost in a maze
Of a thousand rainy days, of a thousand rainy days
But when I heard her voice
Oh, it led me to the end, yes, it led me to the end

Chorus:
                 D#m            A#m
'Cause when she sings I hear a symphony
          B                      F#
And I'm swallowed in sound as it echoes through me
      D#m               A#m
I'm renewed, oh, how I feel alive!
        B
Through autumn's advancing,
we'll stay young, go dancing

C#            G#m    C#              D#m  F#
As the music plays, feel our bodies swa-a-ay
C#              G#m          B
When we move as one, we stay young... ohh

Life is sweet
In the belly of the beast, in the belly of the beast
And with her song in your heart
It can never bring you down,
it can never bring you down

Chorus:
Cause when she sings, I hear a symphony
And I'm swallowed in sound as it echoes through me
I'm renewed, oh, how I feel alive
And through winter's advancing, we'll stay young,
go dancing
Stay young, go dancing
Stay young, go dancing
