BmDGA (Between the Bm and D he hits a C# on the A string)
Bm Backstage with the modern dancers DG She was stretching her arms ABm configuring her body DG while they were breathing, they were shouting ABm she was concentrating on her breathing D and didn't seem to mind G as i sat there on the couch ABm and tuned my guitar DG and played a few chords A like roses growing their thorns
Bm getting ready to perform DG with bare feet and painted faces ABm they took their places DG on shivering legs beneath colourful gowns
AD na na na na DA na na na na AD oooh ooooh DA na na na na ABm ooooh oooh
BmDG and out there on the wooden floors ABm the sweat form their pores DG I'm writing a list ABm of songs I can sing by myself Bm backstage with the modern dancers DGA who feel it, like i feel it Bm like i feel it feel if feel it Bm backstage with the modern dancers DG getting ready to go on ABm she showed me her spin DGA with a beauty lit from within BmD and all of these things GA i don't think they should be released
