Five for Fighting - This Dance
Capo 3
D.  Bm   G  Bm. G. D. A.
D.                 G.            
   This is not our favorite song 
Bm.                       A.
   but the night's moving right along 
        G           D             A           D  A...
   may I have your hand, may I have this dance 
D.                       G.
   I sense that you are amused, 
Bm.                          A.                           
   but you just bought those brand new shoes 
           G           D              A             D  A...
   It would be such a shame not to give us the chance 
    Bm.   Em.  A.                      D.     Bm.       Em.             A. G.
And oh my love   there is only so many dances    we can take across the night 
D.                    G.
   So while it's just me and you 
Bm.                  A.
   I thought I might say to you 
      G       F#m      Em        A  D... 
   You put the beautiful in life 
D.  Bm   G  Bm. G. D. A.
D.                          G.
   I know at times that you feel alone 
Bm.                      A.
   when I'm here and I'm never home 
             G      D            A                D  A...
You said it before   it's the price that you pay 
D.               G.
   On matters of clarity 
Bm.                   A.
   it's no secret you carry me 
                           G       D          A          D  A...
But should the sky start to fall,   I will keep you safe 
    Bm.   Em.  A.                      D.     Bm.       Em.             A. G.
And oh my love   there is only so many dances    we can take across the night 
D.                    G.
   So while it's just me and you 
Bm.                  A.
   I thought I might say to you 
      G       F#m      Em        A  D... 
   You put the beautiful in life 
    Bm. Em. A. D. Bm. Em. A. G.
And oooooooh
D.                  G.
    This is not our favorite song 
Bm.                  A.
    but I wish it go on and on 
                 G               D             A             D  A...
it's moments like these singers do all they can to stop time 
D.                 G.
    So let me just say to you 
Bm.                   C.
    before the DJ changes the tune 
      G       F#m      Em        A  D...
   you put the beautiful in life 
      G       F#m      Em        A  D.
   you put the beautiful in life 
 Bm   G  Bm. G. D. A. D..
