Dance Music

[G] [E]       [C] [D]

alright i'm on [G]johnson avenue[C] in san lu[D]is obispo      [G]
and i'm [G]five years [C]old or six may[D]be.     [G]
and indi[G]cations that there's [C]something wrong with [D]our new [G]house,
[C]  trip down the [D]wire twice daily.

i'm in the[G] living [C]room watching the [D]watergate [G]hearings,
while my[G] stepfather [C]yells at my m[D]other  [G]
launches a g[G]lass across the [C]room,[D] straight at her [G]head.
and i [C]dash upstairs to take [D]cover,

lean in [C]close to my little record player [G]on the floor,
[C]  so this is what the volu[D]me knob's for,
i listen to  [G]       [C]dance [D]music.  [G]
[G]      [C]dance [D]music.  [G]

same as intro...

okay so look i'm[G] seventeen[C] years[D] old  [G]
you're the [G]last best [C]thing i got [D]going  [G]
but then the [G]special secret [C]sickness
starts to [D]eat through [G]you
what am i [C]supposed to do?  [D]   no way of knowing

so i [G]follow you [C]down your twi[D]sting alleyways[G]
find a [G]few cul-de-[C]sacs of my[D] own [G]
there's only [G]one place [C]this road [D]ever ends [G]up
and [C]i don't wanna die [D]alone

let me down, let me [C]down, let me down [G]gently
[C]  when the police come to [D]get me
i listen to  [G]       [C]dance [D]music.  [G]
[G]      [C]dance [D]music.  [G]
