[Verse 1]
C                        Bb
You saw me sitting in the corner
F                        G
And you just sat there right next to me
C                             Bb
You asked me - "are you feeling lonely?" -
F                       G
Well loneliness is just a word, you see

[Verse 2]
C                         Bb
I came in here just for the music
F                     G
For all the things that it makes me feel
C                Bb
I came to exorcise my demons
F                               G
To bury those days when only pain was real

[Pre-Chorus]
Am              G
Treat me right
             C                      F
My dreams will come true tonight
Am
Come with me
G
Set me free
                    C
We'll be alright

[Chorus]
C                   Bb
I should have met you in the 80's
F                   G
Back when I was the dance floor queen
C                            Bb
Maybe you think that I'm too old for dancing
F                                G
You should have met me when I was sixteen

C          Bb                   Ab
Dance Dance! Dance Dance! Dance Dance!
G
You know what I mean
C           Bb                   Ab
Dance Dance! Dance Dance! Dance Dance!
G
Like you were sixteen
C    Ab  C    Ab  C   Ab  C
     Hey!     Hey!    Hey!

[Verse 3]
C                        Bb
Tonight I'm drinking myself sober
F                        G
'Till I see what I want to see
C
A few more drinks and you'll
Bb
be the perfect lover
F                                           G
You will be the one that I truly believe

[Pre-Chorus]
Am           G
That is right
             C               F
My dreams will come true tonight
Am
Come with me
G
Set me free
                    C
We'll be alright

[Chorus]
C                   Bb
I should have met you in the 80's
F                   G
Back when I was the dance floor queen
C                            Bb
Maybe you think that I'm too old for dancing
F                                                G
You should have met me when I was sixteen

C          Bb                   Ab
Dance Dance! Dance Dance! Dance Dance!

Well tonight I'll make you love me.
