G                       Em
Are they calling for our last dance?
C                G D Em C         G D Em
I see it in your eyes    in your eyes
G                 Em
Same old moves, for a new romance
        C                 G D Em           D
I could use the same old lies    but I'll sing

Chorus:
G
Shine on, just shine on
            D
Close your eyes and they'll all be gone
          Em
They can scream and shout
that they've been sold out,
        Am
but it paid for the cloud that we're dancing on
     G
So shine on, just shine on
            D
With your smile just as bright as the sun
              Em
Cause they're all just slaves
to the Gods they've made
    Am                            D       D
But you and I, just shone, just shone

And when silence greets my last goodbye
The words I need are in your eyes, and I'll sing
