Standard Tuning - No Capo
Strumming Pattern - No specific pattern needed but I usually play it with all down strums.
Intro: E
E
I was reminiscing just the other day,
While having coffee all alone and, Lord it took me away.
A
Back to a first-glance feeling on New York time,
Back when you fit in my poems like a perfect rhyme.
E
Took off faster than a green light "go",
Yeah, you skipped the conversation and you already know.
C#m
I left a note on the door with a joke we'd made,
A
And that was the first day.
Chorus: (*: strum once only)
B* C#m* A*
And darling it was good
B* C#m* A*
Never looking down
B* C#m* A*
And right there where we stood
E A
Was holy ground.
E
Spinning like a girl in a brand new dress
We had this big wide city all to ourselves.
A
We blocked the noise with the sound of 'I need you'
And for the first time I had something to lose,
E
And I guess we fell apart in the usual way,
And the story's got dust on every page.
C#m
Sometimes, I wonder how you think about it now
A
And I see your face in every crowd.
Chorus:
B* C#m* A*
And darling it was good
B* C#m* A*
Never looking down
B* C#m* A*
And right there where we stood
E A C#m A
Was holy ground
E A
Tonight I'm gonna dance for all that we've been through
But I don't wanna dance if I'm not dancing with you.
E A
Tonight I'm gonna dance like you were in this room
B
But I don't wanna dance if I'm not dancing with you.
Chorus:
C#m* A*
It was good
B* C#m* A*
Never looking down
B* C#m* A*
And right there where we stood
E A C#m A
Was holy ground
E A
Tonight I'm gonna dance for all that we've been through
But I don't wanna dance if I'm not dancing with you.

Tonight I'm gonna dance like you were in this room
B
But I don't wanna dance if I'm not dancing with you.
