          Am
Shall we dance? 
                    F
Or maybe just limp around?
       Am
These feet are cold and beat, 
     F
and strangers to the ground.
     Am
The sound of the kick is arousing.
     F
The couples are sweet in their love.
    Am
Tonight, we'll stagger up from the basement
    F
or fall to our deaths from above.
C                          G     F
You've got those moves and those eyes
C                         Em   F     
I've got these shakes and bad breath.

[Pre-chorus]

            Am
I've never tried that,
            Am
I've never tried that,
            Am
I've never tried that, 
      G            F
but I know I don't like it.
            Am
I've never tried that,
            Am
I've never tried that,
            Am
I've never tried that, 
       G            F
but I know I don't like it.

[Chorus]

    C       G           Am           F
Or, maybe I do I'm just too weak to fight it. 
    C       G           Am           F
Or, maybe I do I'm just too weak to fight it. 
    C       G           Am           F
Or, maybe I do I'm just too weak to fight it. 
       C              G
Where are you? Where are you? 
          F
I hate to let 'em see me crying.

[Interlude]

C G Am F

[Verse]

           C       
I'm gonna zip on my party suit and show y'all something:
       Em
there ain't no such thing as strumpin' for nothing
        Am
you can fly with us or hang on to the walls 
        F
but the devil's takin' names when the last curtain falls
        Am
I got a deep sick worry and I don't know why!
      C               G                 F
where are you? where are you? what are you doing tonight?
Am
laughing and crying are almost the same
           F
they just show everyone how much attention you're paying

[Pre-chorus]

            Am
I've never tried that,
            Am
I've never tried that,
            Am
I've never tried that, 
      G            F
but I know I don't like it.
            Am
I've never tried that,
            Am
I've never tried that,
            Am
I've never tried that, 
       G            F
but I know I don't like it.

[Chorus]

    C       G           Am           F
Or, maybe I do I'm just too weak to fight it. 
    C       G           Am           F
Or, maybe I do I'm just too weak to fight it. 
    C       G           Am           F
Or, maybe I do I'm just too weak to fight it. 
       C              G
Where are you? Where are you? 
          F
I hate to let 'em see me crying.

[Outro]
 
    C        G
So dry them eyes
Am                 F
everyone else went back inside
C                        G
laughing and crying are almost the same
          Am                     F
they just show everyone how much attention you're paying
    C   G    F
So dry them eyes
         C         G      F    
everyone else went back inside
