G:      3 5 5 4 3 3

When I passed you in the doorway   Well you took me with a glance
Em                      D                 C                       G       Gsus4
I should have took that last bus home    But I asked you for a dance
      Em                D                       C                      G        Gsus4
Now we go steady to the pictures   I always get chocolate stains on my pants
      Em                 D                     C            G
And my father he's going crazy      He says I'm living in a trance
             Gsus4      Em               D
But I'm dancing in the moonlight
                      C                  G
It's caught me in its spotlight It's alright
     Gsus4      Em               D
Dancing in the moonlight
        C               G           G            G G G G G G G
On this long hot summer night
       Em                D
It's three o'clock in the morning
        C              G       Gsus4
And I'm on the streets again
Em                  D
I disobeyed another warning
  C                      G       Gsus4
I should have been in by ten
      Em                  D
Now I won't get out until Sunday
             C                 G        Gsus4
I'll have to say I stayed with friends
Em                      D
But it's a habit worth forming
      C                           G       Gsus4
If it means to justify the end
            Gsus4      Em               D
But I'm dancing in the moonlight
                      C                  G
It's caught me in its spotlight It's alright
    Gsus4      Em               D
Dancing in the moonlight
