Thanks for the dance

The evening has hardly begun

Thanks for the dance

There's a rose in your hair
        D
Your shoulders are bare

You've been wearing this costume forever

Thanks for the dance
         G         D
And the baby you carried
         A                     D
It was almost a daughter or a son

Pre-Chorus:
               A
And there's nothing to do
         D
But to wonder if you
          Bm       A
Are as hopeless as me
         G     Gm
And as decent

Chorus:
        D
We're joined in the spirit
  G
Joined at the hip
  E7
Joined in the panic

Wondering if
       A            G6
We've come to some sort
      D        A
Of agreement

Interlude:

 D                A  A7  D
Dum Dum Dah-Dum
 D                A  A7  D
Dum Dum Dah-Dum

It was fine it was fast
          D
We were first we were last
    Bm           A          G      Gm
In line at the Temple of Pleasure

And the blue was so blue

I was so I

And you were so you

As a feather

  D
Thanks for the dance
        A            A7
It was hell, it was swell
        D
It was fun
  D
Thanks for all the dances
 A              A7            D
One two three, one two three one
