C                          E7
  Do you want me or do you not?
        Am                          F
I heard one thing, now I'm hearing another
C                             E7
  Dropped a pin to my parking spot
            Am                           F
The bar was hot, it's 2am, it feels like summer

Em      F                 Am        G
   Happiness is a butterfly, try to catch it like every night
Em     F                         Am  G
   It escapes from my hands into moonlight
Em      F               Am              G
   Everyday is a lullaby, hum it on the phone like every night
Em                    F                      Am      G
   And sing it for my babies on the tour life, ah-ah ah

C                                          E7
  If he's a serial killer, then what's the worst
                                           Am               F
That could happen to a girl who's already hurt, I'm already hurt
C                                              E7
  If he's as bad as they say, then I guess I'm cursed
                                             Am                F
Looking into his eyes, I think he's already hurt, he's already hurt

         C
I said, "Don't be a jerk, don't call me a taxi"
E7
Sitting in your sweatshirt, crying in the backseat
Am                                G          F
Ooh ooh-ooh ooh-ooh, I just wanna dance with you

C
Hollywood and Vine, Black Rabbit in the alley
E7
I just wanna hold you tight down the
   Am                            G          F
Avenue-hoo-hoo hoo, I just wanna dance with you

                C                          F
I just wanna dance, baby,     I just wanna dance
                   (With you)
      C                         F         (C)
      Dance, baby, I just wanna dance
(With you)                           (with you)

C                               E7
  Left the canyon, drove to the club
      Am                        F
I was one thing, now I'm being another
C                         E7
  Go down to Sunset in my truck
              Am                        F
I'll pick you up if you're in town, I'm coming, ah-ah ha-ha

Em      F                 Am           G
   Happiness is a butterfly, we should catch it while dancing
Em       F                  Am  G
I lose myself in the music, ba-—by
Em      F               Am       G
   Everyday is a lullaby, try to catch it like lightning
Em        F                  Am  G
I sing it into my music, I'm cra-zy

C                                          E7
  If he's a serial killer, then what's the worst
                                           Am               F
That could happen to a girl who's already hurt, I'm already hurt
C                                              E7
  If he's as bad as they say, then I guess I'm cursed
                                             Am                F
Looking into his eyes, I think he's already hurt, he's already hurt

I just wanna dance, baby,     I just wanna dance
                   (With you)
      C                         F          C
      Dance, baby, I just wanna dance
(With you)                           (with you)
