Intro: F Bm F Bm Verse: 1 Bm Met a dancer C Who was high in a field D From her movement Em C Caught my breath on my way home G7 Dm Couldn't stop that sprinning force G7 I felt envy Dm Everything around seemed to giggle glee F G F G She walked up with a flower and I cared F Bm F Bm Verse: 2 Bm Saw the dancer C D Who gets wild to the beats of record rhythms Em C But I'm always away for weeks G7 That pass slow my Dm Mind gets lost G7 Dm Feeling envy for the kid who'll dance despite anything F G F I walk out in the flowers and feel better Bridge F G F If I could just leave my body for the night C F F F F G C G F F F F Pre-Chorus F G Then we could be dancing C F No more missing you while I'm gone F G There we could be dancing C F And you'd smile and say, "I like this song" F G And when our eyes will meet then C F We will recognize nothing's wrong F G And I wouldn't feel so selfish C F I won't be this way very long G Dm To hold you in time G Dm To hold you in time G Dm To hold you in time G Dm To hold you in time F Bm F Bm verse 3 Bm While we were dancing C Early hours D Drunken days finally ended E C And the streets turned for a pillowcase G7 Dm Then I fumbled our good lock G7 Dm Then the ecstasy turns to rising light Through our windowpane F Now I'm gone G F I left flowers for you there F Bm F Bm
