Am Am C Em Am


[Verse 1]

N.C.
Her breath began to speak
N.C.
As she stood right in front of me
N.C.
The colour of her eyes
N.C.
Were the colour of insanity
N.C.
Crushed beneath her wave
N.C.
Like a ship, I could not reach the shore
      Am                      Em
We're all just dancers on the Devil's Dance Floor


[Chorus]

     Am                          C             Em
Well swing a little more, little more o'er the merry-o
Am                            C           Em
Swing a little more, a little more next to me
Am                          C             Em
Swing a little more, little more o'er the merry-o
Am                          C       Em    Am
Swing a little more, on the Devil's Dance Floor


[Verse 2]

N.C.
Pressed against her face
N.C.
I could feel her insecurity
N.C.
Her mother'd been a drunk
N.C.
And her father was obscurity
N.C.
But nothin' ever came
N.C.
From a life that was a simple one
   Am
So pull yourself together girl
    Em
And have a little fun


[Verse 3]

N.C
Well she took me by the hand
N.C.
I could see she was a fiery one
N.C.
Her legs ran all the way
N.C.
Up to Heaven and past Avalon
N.C.
Tell me somethin' girl, what it is you have in store
         Am
She said come with me now
       Em
On the Devil's Dance Floor


[Chorus]

     Am                          C             Em
Well swing a little more, little more o'er the merry-o
Am                            C           Em
Swing a little more, a little more next to me
Am                          C             Em
Swing a little more, little more o'er the merry-o
Am                          C       Em    Am
Swing a little more, on the Devil's Dance Floor
Am                          C       Em    Am
Swing a little more, on the Devil's Dance Floor

[Verse 4]

N.C.
The apple now is sweet
N.C.
Oh much sweeter than it ought to be
N.C.
Another little bite
N.C.
I don't think there is much hope for me
N.C.
The sweat beneath her brow
N.C.
Travels all the way
N.C.
An' headin' south
     Am
This bleedin' hearts cryin'
              Em
Cause there's no way out


[Chorus]

     Am                          C             Em
Well swing a little more, little more o'er the merry-o
Am                            C           Em
Swing a little more, a little more next to me
Am                          C             Em              
Swing a little more, little more o'er the merry-o
Am                          C       Em    Am
Swing a little more, on the Devil's Dance Floor
     Am                          C             Em
Well swing a little more, little more o'er the merry-o!!!
Am                            C           Em
Swing a little more, a little more next to me!!!
Am                          C             Em              
Swing a little more, little more o'er the merry-o!!!
Am                          C       Em    Am
Swing a little more, on the Devil's Dance Floor!!!
