[Verse 1]
Am F/A B7/A
Late at night in summer heat Expensive car empty street
Am7 F
There's a wire in my jacket This is my trade
B7 E
It only takes a moment don't be afraid
Dm G
I can hotwire an ignition like some kind of star
Am F#dim
I'm just a poor boy in a rich man's car
Dm Esus4 E
So I whisper to the engine flick on the lights
Am
And we drive into the night
[Verse 2]
Am F/A
Oh the smell of the leather always excited my imagination
B7/A Dm
And I picture myself in this different situation
Am F
I'm a company director two kids and a wife
B7 Esus4 E
I get the feeling that there's more to this one's life
Dm G
There's some kind of complication he tells her he's alone
Am F#dim
Spends the night with his lover there's a trace of her cologne
Dm E
And the words of his mistress as she whispers them so near
F Dm
Start ringing in my ear
[Chorus]
C F Dm G Am
Please take me dancing tonight I've been all on my own
F Dm G Am
You promised one day we could its what you said on the phone
F Dm G F
I'm just a prisoner of love always hid from the light
G Am
Take me dancing please take me dancing tonight
