Dancing In The Dive Bars

Tom: D

        D
I’m the king of the deadbeats
               G
And you’re the queen of the cheap seats
            Bm
We’re gonna spend all the money
         A                               G
That our landlord needs from you and me
               D
We’ll wear our fanciest clothes and
     G
Walk out in the snow and
     Bm                               A                     G
Head north of the main drag where the cab drivers drink alone


[Chorus]
         G
Let’s go dancing in the dive bar
       D
On the darker side of town
              G
They’ve got a Bob Dylan cover band
            D
And they’re playin too loud
        G
But I’m getting paid at midnight
              D
And all those other bills can wait
            D                     A                    G
I’d rather spend my night dancing in the dive bar with you
            D                     A                     D
I’d rather spend my night dancing in the dive bar with you

[Verse 2]
         D
She only drinks when she’s smoking
    G
And that ain’t that often
       Bm                            A                G
At the end of the night I’ll have an empty pack in my pocket
           D
She orders all of her drinks with
  G
A fake english accent
             Bm                  A                    G
She knows it drives me mad but I have to laugh in the moment


[Chorus]
         G
Let’s go dancing in the dive bar
       D
On the darker side of town
              G
They’ve got a Bruce Springsteen cover band
            D
And they’re playing too loud
          G
But I’m getting paid at midnight
              D
And all those other bills can wait
      D                     A                        G
We’re flat broke sweat slow down we need a table for two
           D                      A                     D
I’d rather spend my night dancing in the dive bar with you


G Bm A G

D G Bm A G

[Bridge]
         Em                           D                     G
And your feet stick to the floor a reminder of the night before
          Em                      D              G
I’m gonna carry you home when you can’t walk anymore


[Chorus]
N.C.
Let’s go dancing in the dive bar
       D
On the darker side of town
                 G
They’ve got that Bon Jovi tribute band I hate so much
            D
And they’re playing too loud
        G
But I'm getting paid at midnight
              D
And all those other bills can wait
                            A                        G
We’re flat broke sweat slow down we need a table for two
           D                      A                     G
I’d rather spend my night dancing in the dive bar with you


[Outro]
           D                      A                     G
I’d rather spend my night dancing in the dive bar with you
           D                      Bm                    G
I’d rather spend my night dancing in the dive bar with you
           D                      Bm                    G
I’d rather spend my night dancing in the dive bar with you
           D                      A                     G
I’d rather spend my night dancing in the dive bar with you
