[Verse 3]
Em      D         C                  G
Back inside, the smiles and hugs, and champagne flasks

Em              D                  C                      G

Em                     D
You should've seen it, you won't believe it

C                   G
Thousands of people singing back at me

[Chorus]
        C                       G        C                       G

    C                         G                                D
And they don't know the words but it doesn't stop them joining in


[Verse 5]
Em                   D
Push the couch back, someone's on the table
C                         G
Mark plays the air guitar, it's his stage
Em                             D
And everyone is dancing around so late
    C                        G
But no one even noticed until the police came

[Chorus]
     C                       G   C                            G
Just caught in the middle of it, Just caught in the middle of it
   C                   G                                  D
Oh everyone is singing but they don't really know what to sing
   C                    G                     D
And everyone is dancing but don't know how to begin
