I'm sorry you're tired
    B                   E
The evening has hardly begun

Thanks for the dance

Try to look inspired
B                             E
One two three, one two three one

  There's a rose in your hair
          E
  Your shoulders are bare
              C#m          B         A    Am
  You've been wearing this costume forever
     E/g#
  So turn up the music

  Pour out the wine

  Stop at the surface
      Am
  The surface is fine
     E/g#         A/f#    E
  We don't need to go any deeper

Thanks for the dance
I hear that we're married
One two three, one two three one
Thanks for the dance
And the baby you carried
It was almost a daughter or a son

  And there's nothing to do
  But to wonder if you
  Are as hopeless as me and as decent
  We're joined in the spirit
  Joined at the hip
  Joined in the panic
  Wondering
          E/g#          A/f#      E     (...B)
  If we've come to some sort of agreement

E       B   E
La la la...

  It was fine it was fast
  We were first we were last
  In line at the Temple of Pleasure
  But the green was so green
  And the blue was so blue
  I was so I
  And you were so you
  The crisis was light
          E       (...B)
  As a feather

E
Thanks for the dance
        B                       E
It was hell, it was swell, it was fun
E
Thanks for all the dances
B                               E
One two three, one two three one
