[Intro] [fingerpicked acoustic guitar with percussive slaps] [Verse 1] [breathy male vocals] Lying awake tonight Fighting back these thoughts Begging not to see another fucking dawn But I remember her Dancing in the dark Drops another needle on that broken vinyl She pulls me closer and whispers In my ear saying [Chorus] [increased strumming intensity] Dawn's for fools so pull me closer now Dancing in the dark There's no retreat for us Just surrender to our hungry hearts, yeah Dancing in the dark There's no retreat for us Just surrender to our hungry hearts [Instrumental Break] [acoustic guitar riff with hammer-ons] [Verse 2] So you broke your promise Haunted by your ghost Dances these halls till the sun kills the shadows But I remember her She's dancing in the dark Drops another needle on that broken vinyl [Chorus] [fuller strumming] Dancing in the dark There's no retreat for us Just surrender to our hungry hearts, yeah Dancing in the dark There's no retreat for us Just surrender to our hungry hearts [Bridge] [vocals become more rhythmic and urgent] But all I remember Is those lonely nights Lying awake and thinking of all those stupid fights Trying to get back something I lost long ago May the dawn bring a better tomorrow [Chorus] [maximum vocal energy] But dancing in the dark There's no retreat for us Just surrender to our hungry hearts, yeah Dancing in the dark There's no retreat for us Just surrender to our hungry hearts, yeah Dancing in the dark There's no retreat for us Just surrender to our hungry hearts, yeah [Outro] [guitar returns to gentle fingerpicking] [percussive slaps slow down] [final chord rings out]
