But Tonight We Dance Chords

(ver. 2)
Rise Against
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|-----------------4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4----------|
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


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#                G#
So say you'll stay and dance with me tonight.
