[Intro]
D Dsus2 D G6/D C
D Dsus2 D G6/D C Cadd9
D Dsus2 D G6/D C
[Verse 1]
D Dsus2
There she is again tonight
C Cadd9
She's dancin' across the floor
D Dsus2
Where the lights flash, bodies crash
C Cadd9
And smoke pours out the door
D Dsus2
She's lookin' for a rhythm
C Cadd9 D Dsus2 D G6/D C Cadd9
That can take away the day before
D Dsus2
She ain't no angel
C Cadd9
No sweet sixteen
D Dsus2 C Cadd9
She don't look like the cover on a magazine
D Dsus2
She's feelin' low and lonely
C Cadd9 D Dsus2 D G6/D C Cadd9
She don't want to make a scene
[Chorus]
So she says:
Bm F#
"Dance to the broken beat
Bm
Better than walkin' up and down
F#
The hard and dusty street", and she's thinking:
G D
Don't want to know about the boys up there
G D
Don't want to find out if they care
G D
Just want to forget everything
A D Dsus2 C
Everywhere
D Dsus2 D G6/D C Cadd9 D Dsus2 C Cadd9
I've just come up for air
D Dsus2 D G6/D C
I've just come up for air
[Verse 2]
D Dsus2
She goes home tired and drunk
C Cadd9
From another lonely night
D Dsus2
The traffic lullaby tells her
C C
She feels alright
D Dsus2
And every day it's just the same
C Cadd9
And nothing makes a difference
D Dsus2 D G6/D C Cadd9
Like she thought it might
D Dsus2
She looks like a secretary
C Cadd9
Feels like a thief
D Dsus2
For all this deadening
C
There must be some relief
D Dsus2
No-one shows her anything
C Cadd9 D G6/D C Cadd9
The only thing that comes through is the beat, the beat
[Chorus]
And she says:
Bm F#
"Dance to the broken beat
Bm
Better than walkin' up and down
F#
The hard and dusty street"
G
And she's thinking:
G D
Don't want to know about the boys up there
G D
Don't want to find out if they care
G D
Just want to forget everything
A D Dsus2 C Cadd9
Everywhere, yeah
D Dsus2 C
I've just come up for air
D Dsus2 C Cadd9
"Won't you look at me", she says
D Dsus2 D G6/D C
"I've just come up for air"
[Outro]
D C D C
She says
D C
Well she talks to me
D C D Dsus2 C Cadd9
She says....Oooooh, she says "look at me"
D Dsus2 D G6/D C Cadd9
"Look at me boys, I've just come up for air"
D Dsus2 C Cadd9 D Dsus2 C
She talks to me, She says "I've just come up for air"
