When We Dance - transcribed by Martin Nickel 

First time I've heared this song I was NOT very impressed of, but
more and more I feel it's beauty ... so I've tried to transcribe it. 

It's far from complete, so please give me your additions/corrections. 

  

Intro:                      E7 

            e|-------------------0---------|
            B|--------0-------------0------|
            G|-----1-----1-------------1---|
            D|-----------------------------|
            A|-----------------------------|
            E|--0--------------------------|
  

  

      E7
If he loved you
            E7  (let the e-string ring)
Like I love you
        C#m
I would walk away in shame
         E7
I'd move town, I'd change my name
  

  

        E7
When he watches you
                      E7  (let the e-string ring)
When he counts to buy your soul
        C#m
On your hand his golden rings
        E7
Like he owns the bird that sings 

        B
When we dance
A                              E7
Angels will run and hide their wings 

E7
The priest has saved my soul salvation
is in the balance of the angels
    C#m
And underneath the wheels of passion
E7
I keep the faith in my fashion 

When we dance
Angels will run and hide their wings
(Oooh) I'm still in love with you 

CHORUS
When we dance
Angels will run and hide their wings
I'm gonna love you more than life
If you'll only be my wife
I'm gonna love you night and day
I'm gonna try in every way 

When we dance
Angels will run and hide their wings
I'm gonna find a place to live
Give you all I've got to give
I would love you more than life
If you'll only be my wife 

F#?        F#               B?
If I could break down these walls
                              B
And shout my name at heaven's gate
F#?            F#
I'd take these hands
                    B?                 B
And I'd destroy the dark machineries of fate,
F#?              F#
The vehicles are broken
Heaven's the one above
A
Hellfire's a promise away
I'd still be saying
E7
I'm still in love
Still in love
C#m
Still in love
E7
Still in love... 

{ In the next verse and the chorus there's a change in the key } 

F#7
He won't love you
Like I love you
         D#m
He won't care for you this way
      F#7
He'll mistreat you with disdain 

Come and live with me
We'll have children of our own
        D#m
I would love you more than life
          F#7
If you'll come and be my wife 

CHORUS
        C#
When we dance
B                              F#7
Angels will run and hide their wings 

I'm gonna love you more than life
If you'll only be my wife
I'm gonna love you night and day
I'm gonna try in every way 

When we dance
Angels will run and hide their wings
I'm gonna find a place to live
Give you all I've got to give
I would love you more than life
If you'll only be my wife
  

[etc...]
  

When we dance... 

I had a dream last night
Dreamt you were by my side
Walking with me baby
My heart was filled with pride
I had a dream last night

  The first two chords are almost impossible to accomplish if you keep your
tongue inside your mouth :) . I won't even try to find their names...
