You Used To Love To Dance Chords

[Intro]
A
 
 
[Verse 1]
A
Lying in a city night
             G
A million fingers tingling my skin
A
Out there in the sea tonight
                G
I thought I saw you clutching your sin
    Bm
You rolled me over long ago
    G                                 A
And told me you were strong enough to go
    Bm
You needed more than this lover's dream
    G                                        E
You need the steel and the concrete beams in your life
E
In your life
 
 
[Chorus]
       D
But we laughed and drank in that jukebox light
       G
And we tore the rug in that downtown dive
      A
Every Saturday night
         D
Hey, for fifty cents we'd dance all night long
    G
And each new tune we said that's our song
      A
Oh it felt so right
     Bm
Well ecstasy ain't free
E
But compromise is chance
G
I remember how
D                   A
You used to love to dance
 
 
[Verse 2]
A
They told me you have found your love
                     G
You moved in, locked up and put out your blues
     A
Well all God's children got to grow up
                     G
And play house, make vows to hang up their shoes
       Bm
Do you sit and talk over coffee cups?
   G                             A
Do headline mornings satisfy and fill you up?
  Bm
I kept your eyes and your cigarette kiss
    G                                               E
You couldn't keep the lies, the adrenaline bliss in your life
   A    E
In your life
 
 
[Chorus]
       D
But we laughed and drank in that jukebox light
       G
And we tore the rug in that downtown dive
      A
Every Saturday night
         D
Hey, for fifty cents we'd dance all night long
    G
And each new tune we said that's our song
      A
Oh it felt so right
     Bm
Well ecstasy ain't free
E
But compromise is chance
G
I remember how
D                   A
You used to love to dance
 
 
[Interlude]
A
 
 
[Bridge]
   Bm
Oh I'm gonna go out tonight
          C#m
I'm gonna drive up to the hill
         D
Hey, I'm gonna dive on into those city lights
              E
And I'm gonna dance, dance
E
Dance 'til I get my fill
 
 
[Chorus]
      D
Oh we laughed and drank in that jukebox light
G
Tore the rug in that downtown dive
      A
Every Saturday night
          D
Yeah, for fifty cents we'd dance all night long
G
Each new tune we swore that's our song
   A
It felt so right
             Bm
Well I know, I know ecstasy ain't free
E
But compromise is chance
G             D
I remember how
                A7
You used to love  to dance

A
Oh, oh, oh, oh
A
Ah-ha, oh no
A
Oh, sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, baby, baby
A
Oh ho, yeah, ho
A
Come on, come on, come on and dance
A
Dance
A
Come on, come on sha-la-la
A
Sha-la-la
A
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la
A
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la
A
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la
