Intro
A
The Asun has passed from Doverhead
Let the Bmnight come in, let the night walk through your dDmoor
For Aevery sleep spent Din our beds
We will Bmpush our feet so hard the room will tEear
AIn the carnival with smiles our faces Dglow
Oh the Bmdark can make us feel so bEold
There’s no Acold to make us want to stay at Dhome
BmEvery doubt in tEurn explodes
Chorus:
We Aall could pass right Fmthrough
We Bmall have nothing left to lDmose
Verse 2:
It’s Anot the fire, nor Dthe warm drink
That Bmheats my heart and lifts my happy lDmegs
AYour strong hand has Dkept me here
No I Bmwill not go, no I will not say goodnEight
I was tAold this town’s so small it would not Dgrow
I was Bmtold that here I would feel aElone
There’s no Acold, nor snow to make us lose our Dsouls
BmLight we shine and oEnce we fall
Chorus:
And we Aall could pass right Fmthrough 
We Bmall have nothing left to lDmose
We Ahold the best nights Fmtrue
With Bmall there’s nothing left to lDmose
EWe’re all alive as we Fmtumble over Ehours
We pull our hand in Fmclose so our faces Bmblur
There’s nothing we have left we cannot Dmtry
So come on baby let’s Adance
Put your body in Fmmotion
I don’t want this to Bmend
I don’t want to Dmclimb those stairs and go to bed
So let’s Adance
(Won’t you please just try?)
Put your body in Fmmotion
(To dance with me tonight)
I don’t want this to Bmend
(To dance with me tonight)
Don’t want to Dmclimb the stairs and go to bed
So let’s Adance
(So slide your left foot in and keep your right foot out)
Put your body in Fmmotion
(Turn your hips to the left, swing it all
the way around)
Don’t want this to Bmend
(Bob your head back and forth side to side)
Don’t want to Dmclimb the stairs and go to bed
(Bob your head, shake it out)
End on A

It’s not the fire, nor the warm drink

That heats my heart and lifts my happy legs

Your strong hand has kept me here

Don’t want to climb the stairs and go to bed

So let’s dance

Put your body in motion

(Turn your hips to the left, swing it all

the way around)

Don’t want this to end
