A, (F)la dy,

Bal le ri na:

danc ing in the sand.

And now she’s in me,

al ways (F)with me:

ti ny danc er in my hand.

Je sus (F)freaks,

hand ing tick ets out for God.

Turn ing back,

she just laughs;

the bou le vard is not that bad.

Pia no man,

he makes his stand

(E)in the au di to ri um.

Look ing on,

she sings the (F)song;

the words she knows, the tune she hums.

Hold me clos er ti ny danc er;

Hold me clos er ti ny danc er;

you had a bu sy day to day.

(Ab6)Oh, how (Ab)it feels so real, (Gm7)ly ing here with (Cm)no one near, on ly you;

Hold me clos er ti ny danc er;

count the head lights on the high way;

lay me down in sheets of lin en,

you had a bu sy day to day.
