Used to be like toffee in a kitten's teeth

Used to build air raid shelters out of sticks and leaves

And spend the whole day underneath 

Dm                 A 
Used to be like copper 
Bb             F 
Pliable but strong 
Dm                                     A 
Used to smile and nod and say you're right be polite  
Bb                             Fmaj7 
When you know that everybody's wrong

Dm                       A 
So you dare the plane to crash 
Bb                                          F 
Redeem the miles for cash when it starts to dive 
Dm                              A 
And we'll dance like cancer survivors 
Bb                                  F 
Like you're grateful simply to be alive

And we'll dance like cancer survivors

Like the prognosis was that you should've died

And we'll dance like cancer survivors

No there's nothing wrong 
Bb                                      F 
There's nothing wrong when it starts to dive 
Dm                              A 
And we'll dance like cancer survivors
