Tom: E E B7 E B7 [Verse 1] E B7 When she asked me to dance I said, "No no I have two left feet." E And the she took my hand and whispered a song so sweet A E C#m And she said, "Hold me as close as you can 'til my bodies on fire." E B7 E B7 E B7 It's just a vertical expression of horizontal desire. [Verse 2] E B7 So we moved like water bein' poured over polished steel E And I really can't translate the way she made me feel A E C#m And the music played on and the mercury just went higher E B7 E B7 E B7 It's just a vertical expression of horizontal desire. [Bridge] A E We did the samba, the mambo , the tango, the two-step while we romanced A B B7 And when the music got fast we just held to each other and slow danced. [Instrumental] E E B7 B7 B7 B7 E E A A E C#m E B7 E B7 E B7 [Verse 3] E B7 I took nothing for granted but I wished I could stay all night E And as we walked in to her place she reached out to dim the light A E C#m She said, "Dance with me darlin' 'til the moon and the stars retire." E B7 E B7 It's just a vertical expression of horizontal desire. E B7 E It's just a vertical expression of horizontal desire.
