Lyrics

(C#dim)Heav en,

(G7)I’m in (C#dim)heav en,

(G7)and my (C6)heart beats (G7)so that (D#dim)I can (C)hard ly (Bb7)speak;

(D7)and I (G7)seem to find the hap pi ness I (E7)seek

(A7)when we’re (Dm7)out to geth er (G7)danc ing cheek to (C)cheek.

(C#dim)Heav en,

(G7)I’m in (C#dim)heav en,

(G7)and the (C6)cares that (G7)hung a (D#dim)round me (C)thru the (Bb7)week

(D7)seem to (G7)van ish like a gam bler’s luck y (E7)streak

(A7)when we’re (Dm7)out to geth er (G7)danc ing cheek to (C)cheek.

Oh!

I (G7)love to climb a (C)moun tain, and to (G7)reach the high est (C)peak, but it (G7)does n’t thrill me (C)half as (C#dim)much as (Dm7)danc ing (G7)cheek to (C)cheek.

Oh!

I (G7)love to go out (C)fish ing in a (G7)riv er or a (C)creek, but I (G7)don’t en joy it (C)half as (C#dim)much as (Dm7)danc ing (G7)cheek to (C)cheek.

(Cm)Dance with me

I want my (Ab7)arm a bout you.

The (G#dim)charm a bout you, will (Am)car ry me (D7)through (G7)to (C#dim)heav en.

(G7)I’m in (C#dim)heav en

(G7)and my (C)heart beats (G7)so that (D#dim)I can (C)hard ly (Bb7)speak.

(D7)And I (G7)seem to find the hap pi ness I (E7)seek

(A7)when we’re (Dm7)out to geth er (G7)danc ing cheek to (C)cheek.
