But Tonight We Dance
Rise Against
This song is originally written in drop D tuning so thats what I recommend but like
else, you can do it in standard. All these chords are for the rhythm guitarist, or
1
"Dan's" tab (which is really accurate check it out!). I fell pretty confident about this
and theres nothing thats really too hard to play, the whole songs played with power
The only weird thing in it is G#aug, i think thats how you say it, anyways its not that
to play, i tabbed it out for you. Have fun!

Verse
G# G#aug
Breathe deep and easy,
F# G#
swallow this pride.
E F#
Stare at my shaking hands through
D# G#
bone dry, blood shot eyes.
G# G#aug
Clock strip the hours,
F# G#
I count the miles.
E F#
Will you be there waiting,
D# G#
awake until sunrise.
Chorus
Em F#
I’ve traveled in darkness,
D# G#
for what seems like days,
Em F#
I come from the sinkholes,
D# G#
collapsed under this weight.
Em F#
I know not your sorrow,
D# G#
but I know mine,
E F#
So say you'll stay and dance with me tonight.
Verse 2 (same as Verse 1)
G# G#aug
In the glow of twilight,
F# G#
our world is finally calm.
E F#
I felt it complete me,
D# G#
when the stars give way to dawn.
G# G#aug
A language universal,
F# G#
but I speak not its tongue.
E F#
Is this a night that spins forever,
D# G#
or a dawn that never comes.
Chorus
Em F#
I’ve traveled in darkness,
D# G#
for what seems like days,
Em F#
I come from the sinkholes,
D# G#
collapsed under this weight.
Em F#
I know not your sorrow,
D# G#
but I know mine,
E F#
So say you'll stay and dance with me tonight.

G# E B D#
Tomorrow we might wake in solitude and silence
G# E B D#
I will give you everything if only you would have me
G# E
Tomorrow we will sweat and toil,
B D#
Our hands will quiver caked with soil,
G# E
Tomorrow we'll give it one last chance,
B
But tonight we dance,
D#
But tonight we dance
The rhythm guitar plays the sam progression (G#,E,B,D#) during the solo
