GWhen you and your cast of friends Bmarrive
And the party reaches a new hCigh
Don't you think it'll lGast too long
AmBefore you know it baby
B7They break out into that sonGg
That I know I've heard it once or tBmwice
From where I just can't be preCcise
Even though it's irrelGevant
AmIt's as if I've B7woken from
A confused and cloudy dreamE  
F#m      D       Dsus4 D Dsus2 Dsus4 D Dsus2

Turn around and Fmajmake it a singalongG  
FmajThe heart scratch melodCy
Means there's more than Fmajthis for you and meD  B  
When you Gwait by the door, look for your rBmide
Where the shoes are piled up on the sCide
And the dancing's out Gof hand
