[Verse 1]
F# B
It really breaks my heart
F# B
To see a dear old friend
F# C# D#m B F#
Go down to the worn out place again
F# B
Do you know the sound
F# B
Of a closing door?
F# C# D#m B F# B
Have you heard that sound somewhere before?
[Pre-Chorus]
F# C# D#m B F# C#
Do you wonder if she knows you anymore?
[Chorus]
B F#
I wrapped your love around me like a chain
B C#
But I never was afraid that it would die
F# B D#m
You can dance in a hurricane
D#m C# F#
But only if you’re standing in the eye
[Instrumental]
B F# B F#
[Verse 2]
F# B
Where did you learn to walk?
F# B
Where did you learn to run?
F# D#m B F# B
Away from everything you love
F# B
Did you think the bottle
F# B
Would ever ease your pain?
F# C# D#m B F# B
Did you think that love’s a foolish game?
[Pre-Chorus]
F# C# D#m B F# C#
Did you find someone else to take the blame?
[Chorus]
B F#
I wrapped your love around me like a chain
B C#
But I never was afraid that it would die
F# B D#m
You can dance in a hurricane

But only if you’re standing in the eye

You can dance in a hurricane
D#m C# F#
But only if you’re standing in the eye
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
B F# B
I am a sturdy soul
F# B
And there ain't no shame
F# C# D#m B F# B
In lying down in the bed you've made
F# C# D#m B F# C#
Can you fight the urge to run for another day?
[Pre-Chorus]
D#m C# F#
You might make it further if you learn to stay
[Chorus]
B F#
I wrapped your love around me like a chain
B C#
But I never was afraid that it would die
F# B D#m
You can dance in a hurricane
D#m F# C#
But only if you’re standing in the eye
F# B D#m
You can dance in a hurricane
D#m C# F#
But only if you’re standing in the eye
