A Really Cool Dance Song chords by Bowling For Soup

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Verse 1:
Em                G
We grew up in the suburbs
                C
Got guitars for Christmas
    Am                  A
And started a punk rock band
Em                   G
Then we traveled the nation
            C
Became a sensation
        A        Am
In our '82 Dodge van

Em G C A Em

                      G
And now we're gettin' older
              C
And much more sober
                A                         Em
And we got some big house payments to make
                 G
The wife wants a handbag
              C
The kids need college
             A       D         C
We just need one hit single to break
                   C        A#
Get ready, here it comes!


Chorus:
Em                      G
This song sounds like a dance song
                        C
Because dance songs are cool now
              A                            E
So get up and shake what your momma gave ya
                     G
Its our attempt at a dance song
              C
A really cool dance song
               Am
Its gonna be a great big hit!

Em G C A


Verse 2:
Em                     G
And now the label's so stoked
                     C
They dont get the damn joke
                 Am              Em
The downloads are off the charts!
                        G
Like those bands on the TV
              C
In the frilly Tuxedos
              Am        G            C
The ones that break the young girls' hearts
               D
