G          D
No I never knew you
C               G
We both went to different schools
F                 C                            D
Me so scared of the rules, you chasing all the girls
G               D
But it seems to me
C                        G
We never grew up we just got ourselves free
F                       C                   D
Inventing what we could be to buy all their curls

[Chorus]
           C      G
Get up and dance
           C      G
Get up and smile
           F                         C                    D
Get up and drink to the ones who are gone in the shortest while

[Verse 2]
G               D
She was just eighteen
C                      G
she collapsed and they took her away
F                                   C                 D
She didn't make it for more than an hour then she was gone
G               D
What do you say?
C                   G
When someone's been taken that way
F                    C                 D
Before they've had a day to fly in the sun

[Chorus]
           C      G
Get up and dance
           C      G
Get up and smile
           F                         C                    D
Get up and drink to the ones who are gone in the shortest while
           C      G
Get up and dance
           C      G
Get up and smile
           F                         C                    D
Get up and drink to the ones who are gone in the shortest while

[Bridge]
                  C      G
I'll sing my sorrow          x4

[Verse 3]
G            D
No I never knew you
C                    G
We both landed up as different fools
F                   C                          D
Me so scared of the rules, you chasing all the girls
G                D  
But it seems to me
C                        G
We never grew up we just got ourselves free
F                       C                   D
Inventing what we could be to buy all their curls

[Chorus]
           C      G
Get up and dance
           C      G
Get up and smile
           F                         C                    D
Get up and drink to the ones who are gone in the shortest while
           C      G
Get up and dance
           C      G
Get up and smile
           F                         C                    D
Get up and drink to the ones who are gone in the shortest while

[Bridge]
                  C      G
I'll sing my sorrow          x9
