[Intro]
(A)  (A)  (A)  (A)  (E)
[Verse]
She tried to Adance me to death
DI'm slap out of Abreath
Lord, that woman's killin' me
I'm B7looking for Donna and ESeth
I said, "Ya'll Agot to get me away from this girl
If you Ddon't I'm gonna D7die"
They said, A"why"
And I said, "That dagum Beth's gonna Edance me to Adeath"
[Chorus]
ADonna and Seth's some ex-friends of mine
That talked Dme out on a blind Adate
She worked with a girl named Beth Darnell
That had a B7body that could not Ewait
We Apicked up Beth at her mama's house
Met her Dmama, her daddy was B7dead
ABeth had a face like a Wanted poster
And a Egallon of moose on her head
We Awound up at the Cowboy Heaven
And we Dhadn't got in the Adoor
She grabbed me by the forearm
And B7drug me out on the fl Eoor
We Adanced to thirty-seven songs in a row
Never Ddone that in my B7life
AWe cut the rug like a carpet installer
With a Edull utility Aknife
She tried to Adance me to death
DI'm slap out of Abreath
Lord, that woman's killin' me
I'm B7looking for Donna and ESeth
I said, "Ya'll Agot to get me away from this girl
If you Ddon't I'm gonna D7die"
They said, A"why"
And I said, "That dagum Beth's gonna Edance me to Adeath"
**key change**
BI got honky-tonk twisted
Till I was Esweatin' right through my Bclothes
I need a towel, a beer, and bathroom rug
And my C#feet need Dr. F#Schoal's
We Bdanced to everything the band could play
And some Estuff off TN C#N
I Bswore if this 2-step ever stopped
I'd F#never 2-step a Bgain
**key change**
She tried to Adance me to death
DI'm slap out of Abreath
Lord, that woman's killin' me
I'm B7looking for Donna and ESeth
I said, "Ya'll Agot to get me away from this girl
If you Ddon't I'm gonna D7die"
They said, A"why"
And I said, "That dagum Beth's gonna Edance me to Adeath"
**key change**
BI woke up in the parking lot
And the Eambulance was Bthere
Staring at me was an EMT
And a C#cowboy in a wheel F#chair
I Basked what happened
And the EMT, said E"I'll give you a Bhint
Son, you have just been the victim
Of a F#freak dance acci Bdent"
Well, the Bcowboy looks at me
And said, "Beth Dar Enell" - I said, "how'd you Bknow"
Me and Beth was married a year
I quit walkin' six months ago
**key change**
She tried to Adance me to death
DI'm slap out of Abreath
Lord, that woman's killin' me
I'm B7looking for Donna and ESeth
I said, "Ya'll Agot to get me away from this girl
If you Ddon't I'm gonna D7die"
They said, A"why"
And I said, "That dagum Beth's gonna Edance me...
Dance me...dance me to Adeath"
