verse 1
|F        |C  C/D C/E C |
 ... Baby wants to dance
|F           |C      C/D C/E C |
 .. Past the flat-footed charterhouse boys
|F            |C       C/D C/E C |
 ... From towns where the mothers can't stand
|F            |C   C/D C/E C |
 .. Mmm, the sight of each other

verse 2
|F        |C  C/D C/E C |
 ... Baby wants to last
|F           |C    C/D C/E C |
 .. In the hearts of the wild and free
|F         |C       C/D C/E C |
 ... She knows that time takes all of us
|F                |C   C/D C/E C | F |
 .. Through every long, hot, heavy summer


  |Am        G         |F
And all of them, they talk of national security
  |Am      G        |F
Over garden fences made to buff the bastard breeze
 |C    |F    | C |
Of chance encounters

verse 3
|F        |C  C/D C/E C |
 ... Baby wants to dance
|F             |C    C/D C/E C |
 .. Past the Tuesday morning supermarket crowd
|F         |C         C/D C/E C
 ... She knows we'll all sleep through the days
    |F          |C    C/D C/E C |
 And be two-step drip fed our laughter

verse 4
|F          |C  C/D C/E C |
 ... Says she wants to last
|F          |C    C/D C/E C |
 .. Mmm, last how you want to
|F            |C      C/D C/E C |
 ... She's a light in the young boy's eyes
|F                |C   C/D C/E C | F |
 .. Through every long, hot, heavy summer


  |Am        G         |F
And all of them, they talk of national security
  |Am      G        |F
Over garden fences made to buff the bastard breeze
   |Am      G         |F
Yeah, all of them, shufflin' down that lonely street
  |C     C/D C/E C |
One last gasp
|F              |C   C/D C/E C | F |
 .. Against a long, hot, heavy summer
