[Verse 1]
              Em      C       Am
How did I get here? I heard a rumour
                       Em     C        Am
From your girlfriend's sister that you knew me
               Em      C      Am
And you end up dancing closer to me
Em  C  Am

              Em        C      Am
I know that I broke the rule already
                    Em       C     Am
She asked me if I'm single. "Going steady"
               Em       C      Am
I just drop my head and took a step off
           Em  C  Am
Into the dark


[Pre-Chorus]
Em              C               Am
Standing on the black and white tiles
      Em           C                 Am
Don't dance on the lights 'cause the bears eat the pretty ones
Em              C         Am
We are like the islands divided
Em  C  Am


[Chorus]
Em          C           Am
Jump to the beat of the party line
Em          C           Am
Jump to the beat of the party line
         Em        C        Am
There is no one in here but your body, dear
Em          C           Am
Jump to the beat of the party line


Em  C  Am
Stay
    Em  C  Am
You stay

[Verse 2]
             Em      C     Am
I am on this morning quite distracted
                 Em      C    Am
The tug of war begins in our emotion
             Em   C      Am
I am leaving many people feeling worse than before
Em  C  Am

               Em        C        Am
People like to drive the cars and smoke up
               Em    C        Am
People like to sit inside and toke up
               Em       C           Am
People like to shoot at things with borrowed guns and knives
Em  C  Am


[Pre-Chorus]
Em         C           Am
I am happy to look and run
Em             C          Am
Where were you when I was king in this part of town?
Em              C         Am
Now the days of glory are gone
Em  C  Am


[Chorus]
Em          C           Am
