F                         D#
I lost my tug of war today
                          C#
Took my foot off of the brakes
(The definition of insanity
                           Cm
is looping on repeat and expecting
things to change)
F
But what comes up must hit the ground
                         D#
So I drink these anvils down
     C#
(She always comes to me highly disguised,
an angel whispering,
         Cm
So many pretty shapes)

Chorus:
       F
It's a dance with the devil
A stumbling tango
It's a dance with the devil
Trying to borrow from tomorrow

        F
It's a dance
(Oh, no, oh, no, I don't need you)
(Oh, no, oh, no, I don't need you)
It's a dance
(Oh, no, oh, no, I don't need you)
(Oh, no, oh, no, I don't need you)
It's a dance

Just want to connect
But you won't let me do it
So I get altered,
(Twisted and conflicted,
so I casually can shoot the shit)
Wish less was going on
Wish I could just throw the ball
And ignore it all
(Constantly distracted by the noise of
my ping-pong)

Chorus:
It's a dance with the devil
A mercurial wrestle
It's a dance with the devil
Trying to borrow from tomorrow

It's a dance
(Oh, no, oh, no, I don't need you)
(Oh, no, oh, no, I don't need you)
It's a dance
(Oh, no, oh, no, I don't need you)
(Oh, no, oh, no, I don't need you)
It's a...
(Oh, no, oh, no, I don't need you)
(Oh, no, oh, no, I don't need you)
(Oh, no, oh, no, I don't need you)
(Oh, no, oh, no, I don't need you)

     C#               D#
But what, what is it worth
       C           F   D#   C#
Waking up with a crown of clouds?
            D#
What is it worth

When my head spins out with doubt?
Wish I could measure
When the poison is pouring out
Oh...

It's a dance
(Oh, no, oh, no, I don't need you)
Oh, no, oh, no, I don't need you (It's a dance)
(Oh, no, oh, no, I don't need you)
Oh, no, oh, no, I don't need you (It's a dance)
(Oh, no, oh, no, I don't need you)
Oh, no, oh, no, I don't need you (It's a dance)
(Oh, no, oh, no, I don't need you)
Oh, no, oh, no (It's a...)v
