              Intro C# 
 
     C# 
We sway 
D#m                           
Grabbed her by the hips and hand 
      A#m       F# 
Then off we went 
                   C# 
Across the sanded floor 
            D#m 
She said, that's not sand, it's salt 
             A#m                     F# 
It will get worn like we did before 
 
   C# 
I only wanna dance with you 
D#m 
Every time I try 
     A#m                F# 
We only get an hour or so 
      C# 
It's time to get personal 
D#m            
We've got these times of our lives 
A#m                            F# 
Letâ??s take this time to let it show 
                     C#  D#m  A#m  F# 
'Cause these are ours

    C# 
We sway 
     D#m 
The moon shines down 
                  A#m 
And everybody's safe 
                 F# 
Christmas lights all day 
            C# 
And rightly so 
                D#m 
'Cause we feel high as fuck 
                  A#m 
And everything is good 
        F# 
Good to go 
 
             C# 
I watch the snow fall down 
D#m 
Feels great to be honest 
A#m 
Forget about the trouble 
F# 
Forget about the drama 
          C# 
'Cause I ain't Casanova, baby 
D#m 
I can dance for days 
A#m 
    But this time with you 
          F# 
Is just amazing in so many ways 
 
   C# 
I only wanna dance with you 
D#m 
Every time I try 
     A#m                F# 
We only get an hour or so 
      C# 
It's time to get personal 
D#m            
We've got these times of our lives 
A#m                            F#

                     C#  D#m  A#m  F#

       A#m            G# 
We'll stay until we want to 
               C# 
That's how we used to be 
                    F# 
And we never fell apart 
           A#m                G# 
And weâ??ll stay here until we want to
