 C*** C/F*** | C*** C/F*** | C*** C/F*** | C*** C/F*** :

Verse 1:
C              C/Bm                  B              G
Oh, I had that dream again, I didn't want it to end,
     C                  C/Bm        B               G
I confess you were with me again in dancing shoes
                   C             C
and that sequinned dress.
    C            C/Bm     B            G
And in my best tuxedo and patent black
        C                         C/Bm         B     G
leather shoes I tapped you on the shoulder and asked
              C              C
to dance with you.

Chorus:
    Gm                   C
And dancing the American smooth with you
    C**       C/Bm***       Gm
was just like dancing on air.
    Gm               C          G          G
And you, you were my Ginger and I,
             C      C      C      C
I was your Astaire.

Verse 2:
    C                   C/Bm                   B
You said you'd had your eyes on me, you waited so patiently,
G
  you thought I'd never ask.
C                        C/Bm                       B
  We stepped out on that ballroom floor, I couldn't ask for more
G                       C        C
  and I prayed it would last.

Verse 3:
            C               C/Bm
Oh, and the band played our favourite song,
      B               G                      C
you remember the one
about the moonlight above.
                     C/Bm
And we, we just kept dancing along,
           B                 G            C             C
wrapped in each others arms
falling in love.

Chorus:
    Gm                   C
And dancing the American smooth with you
    C**       C/Bm***       Gm
was just like dancing on air.
    Gm               C          G          G
And you, you were my Ginger and I,
             C      C
I was your Astaire.

Bridge:
Gm                C                    C*** G/C***     C
Lost in the music we danced the night away
          Gm                       C            C*** G/C***     C
until the lights on the dancefloor   started to fade.
    Gm                     C            C*** G/C***     C
and I pulled you closer to steal a last kiss
      Gm            C
but a siren outside   put an end to all Interlude: this.

Interlude:
 C*** G/C*** | C*** C/F*** | C*** G/C*** | C           :

Verse 5:
     C              C/Bm          B        G
And, oh, I was back home again in bed all alone again,
                  C
still missing you so.
                           C/Bm
But tonight I'll have that dream again,
    B                    G                 C             C
one day it may never end   and I won't let go.

Chorus:
       Gm                   C
'Cause dancing the American smooth with you
    C***      C/Bm***        Gm
was just like dancing on air.
    Gm               C          G          G
And you, you were my Ginger and I,
             C      C
I was your Astaire.

End-Chorus:
Gm                   C
Dancing the American smooth with you,
C***       C/Bm***    Gm
both of us dancing on air.
 Gm                C          G       G       G       G*
Again you'll be my Ginger and I,
               C      C      C        C*
I'll be your Astaire.
