[E] [F#m] [B]
[G#m] [C#m] [F#m] [B]
[E] Hey, this is how it's done, I'm so close, I let the rhythm [F#m] surround me
[A] I'm [E] getting itchy and I'm ready [F#m] to move my [E] body
There's a drum going at it, way down in the core [F#m] of my soul
There's [G#m] no escaping the music [B] and I'm psyching up, I'm beating [A] the [B] talent
[E]
[A] There are times when I'm at [B] it without the time I wanna [E] give in
[C#m] So let the light out
[F#m]
[A] [E] [B] [A] Begin,
[B] baby let the [E] party begin
[A] When I woke up this morning and I [E] knew I could see the sky was cloudy and gray
[A] There was a chill in the air and a pain in my [E] heart
Oh [A] it was looking really good, [E] any [A] place to go
But [E] now I'm out of the blue, I [B] know what I gotta do
[A] And something in me's starting [E] to grow
[A] I can feel it in me starting [B] to grow
Grow, grow, grow
I [E] got the dance in my hands
[A] Every [B] time I feel the power [E] in a radio wave
I [B] turn it up all the way
[E] Dance in my pants
I [A] said dance in my pants
Every [B] time I see the glory [E] of a fool looking face
And I just gotta [B] say
[A] When we say [E] dance, we will be right
[A] But the faster [E] they have to look for time
[A] And they're always staying [E] away in [B] your line
We'll be dancing, dancing
[A] You don't say nothing [E] all week
You're getting ready [B] for dancing, dancing
And [A] now your body [B] really knows how [E] to speak
You're getting ready [B] for dancing, dancing
[A] You [B] don't say nothing [E] all week
You're getting ready [B] for dancing, dancing
And [A] now your body [E] really knows how to speak
You're getting ready [A] for
Take [E] it slow
You [A] got a whole lot of style [E] and a load of romance

[C] Don't wanna be [G] on the floor [A] when I can be in the sack
[D] I'm a lover, not a dancer
I'm a lover, not a dancer
[G] I'm just a little bit tired [Em] if you know what I mean
Don't [C] wanna be in the crowd [A] when I can be in the green
I'm [D] a lover, not a [G#] dancer
Baby, [A] baby, let me prove [G] it to you
[A] Let me prove [D] it to you
Well, [G] we can rock it really hard
Or we can roll it really slow
And [D] we can lift it really high
Or we can keep it really low
We [G] can hold it in tight
Or we can let it all out
Or [A] we can whip up the dread
And really stomp it and shout
[G] Let me pull you so close
And then we'll break away fast
We'll be [C] the best on the block
We'll be the [F] best on the block
We'll make a dangerous turn
[A]
[D] I'm a lover, not a dancer
I'm a lover, not a dancer
[G] Don't wanna be on my feet [Em] when I can be on [G] my back
Don't [C] wanna be on the floor when [A] I can be in [D] the sack
I'm a lover, not a dancer
I'm a lover, not a dancer
I'm a lover, [G] not a dancer
I'm a lover, not a dancer
[Em] Don't wanna [C] be on my feet when I can [A] be [D] on my back
Don't wanna be on the floor when [G#m] I can be in the sack

I don't care what you say
Ain't nothin' gonna get me out of that floor Oh, baby
You know, let me be the move

Made it up all by myself.

[D] I'll drink it up all the way, never [Em] get me to stop
[F#m] I gotta stay in [G] motion till the moment that I [D] finally drop
When they decide that I'm gone, I know they're gonna try to [G] put me to rest
But [F#m] I won't be afraid [A] because I know I'm [G] still dead
[A] I [D]
don't have to rescue, [G] and I don't [D] have to let me stay
I [G] got a feeling [D] that [Bm] I'm [Em] dancing on the edge of [G] a grave

grave
