[Intro]
A
[Verse 1]
A
Lying in a city night
G
A million fingers tingling my skin
A
Out there in the sea tonight
G
I thought I saw you clutching your sin
Bm
You rolled me over long ago
G A
And told me you were strong enough to go
Bm
You needed more than this lover's dream
G E
You need the steel and the concrete beams in your life
E
In your life
[Chorus]
D
But we laughed and drank in that jukebox light
G
And we tore the rug in that downtown dive
A
Every Saturday night
D
Hey, for fifty cents we'd dance all night long
G
And each new tune we said that's our song
A
Oh it felt so right
Bm
Well ecstasy ain't free
E
But compromise is chance
G
I remember how
D A
You used to love to dance
[Verse 2]
A
They told me you have found your love
G
You moved in, locked up and put out your blues
A
Well all God's children got to grow up
G
And play house, make vows to hang up their shoes
Bm
Do you sit and talk over coffee cups?
G A
Do headline mornings satisfy and fill you up?
Bm
I kept your eyes and your cigarette kiss
G E
You couldn't keep the lies, the adrenaline bliss in your life
A E
In your life
[Chorus]
D
But we laughed and drank in that jukebox light
G
And we tore the rug in that downtown dive
A
Every Saturday night
D
Hey, for fifty cents we'd dance all night long
G
And each new tune we said that's our song
A
Oh it felt so right
Bm
Well ecstasy ain't free
E
But compromise is chance
G
I remember how
D A
You used to love to dance
[Interlude]
A
[Bridge]
Bm
Oh I'm gonna go out tonight
C#m
I'm gonna drive up to the hill
D
Hey, I'm gonna dive on into those city lights
E
And I'm gonna dance, dance
E
Dance 'til I get my fill
[Chorus]
D
Oh we laughed and drank in that jukebox light
G
Tore the rug in that downtown dive
A
Every Saturday night
D
Yeah, for fifty cents we'd dance all night long
G
Each new tune we swore that's our song
A
It felt so right
Bm
Well I know, I know ecstasy ain't free
E
But compromise is chance
G D
I remember how
A7
You used to love to dance
[Outro]
A
You say sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, baby
A
Oh, oh, oh, oh
A
Ah-ha, oh no
A
Oh, sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, baby, baby
A
Oh ho, yeah, ho
A
Come on, come on, come on and dance
A
Dance

Come on, come on sha-la-la
A
Sha-la-la

Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la
A
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la
A
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la
A
Lying in a city night
A million fingers tingling my skin
Out thee in the sea tonight
I thought I saw you clutching your sin
You rolled me over long ago
And told me you were strong enough to go
You needed more than this lover's dream
You need the steel and the concrete beams in your life
In your life
We laughed and drank in the jukebox light
And we tore the rug in that downtown dive
Every Saturday night
For fifty cents we'd dance all night long
And each new tune we said that's our song
Oh it felt so right
Well ecstasy ain't free
But compromise is chance
I remember how
You used to love to dance
They told me you have found your love
You moved in locked up and put out your blues
Well all God's children got to grow up
And play house make vows to hang up their shoes
Do you sit and talk over coffee cups
Do headline mornings satisfy and fill you up
I kept your eyes and your cigarette kiss
You couldn't keep the lies the adrenalin bliss in your life
In your life
We laughed and drank in the jukebox light
And we tore the rug in that downtown dive
Every Saturday night
For fifty cents we'd dance all night long
And each new tune we said that's our song
Oh it felt so right
Well ecstasy ain't free
But compromise is chance
I remember how
You used to love to dance

I'm gonna drive up to the hill
I'm gonna dive on into those city lights
And I'm gonna dance, dance
Dance till I get my fill
We laughed and drank in the jukebox light
And we tore the rug in that downtown dive
Every Saturday night
For fifty cents we'd dance all night long
And each new tune we said that's our song
Oh it felt so right
Well ecstasy ain't free
But compromise is chance
I remember how
You used to love to dance
