C/G~ E~
Because we're all so very 21st century,
Am~ C* Dm~
you're probably listening to me on some form of portable stereo.
C/G~
Maybe you're sitting at the back of the bus,
E~
or it's running up your sleeve and you're across from your boss,
Am~ C* Dm~
or you're sitting in your bedroom on your own with the lights down low.
D5 G~
I'd like to teach you four simple words, so that next time you come to a show
C/G~ F~
you can sing those words back at me, like they're the only words that you know.
(start strumming here and pluck alternate bass notes, you can hear this in the song)
I want to d[C/G]ance.
I want to d[E]ance.
Am C* Dm
I want lust and love and a smattering of romance.
But, I'm no good at d[C/G]ancing,
and yet I have to do s[E]omething.
Ton[Am]ight I'm gonna play it straight,
C* Dm
I'm gonna take my chance.
C/G~
I want to dance.
**Verse: **
Heigh [Am]ho. Heigh ho. Heigh ho
We're heading [Dm]out to the punk rock show.
Colleagues and f[C/G]riends condescend with a smile.
Yeah but this is m[G]y culture, man, this is my home.
A large cro[Am]wd masses, gathers at the gate, yeah,
the doors are at [Dm]7 and the show starts at 8,
a few precio[C/G]us hours in a space of our own
and when the band comes [G]on the only thing I really know.
**Chorus: **
I want to d[C/G]ance.
I want to d[E]ance.
I want l[Am]ust and love and a smattering of ro[Dm]mance.
But, I'm no good at d[C/G]ancing,
and yet I have to do s[E]omething.
Ton[Am]ight I'm gonna play it straight,
I'm gonna take my c[Dm]hance.
I want to d[C/G]ance.
**Solo chords: **
[Am] [Dm] [C] [G]
**Verse: **
Is any[Am]body else sick of the music That?s churned out by [Dm]lacklustre scenesters from Shoreditch
Oh, it's all [C/G]sex, drugs and sins,
like they're extras from Skins
but it's o[G]kay, because they don't really mean it.
I want b[Am]ands who need to work for their keep
drive a thousand m[Dm]iles and play the show with no sleep.
Sleeping on the f[C/G]loor around a strangers place,
hungry just to [G]do it all again the next day.
**Chrous: **
I want to d[C/G]ance.
I want to d[E]ance.
I want l[Am]ust and love and a smattering of ro[Dm]mance.
But, I'm no good at d[C/G]ancing,
and yet I have to do s[E]omething.
Ton[Am]ight I'm gonna play it straight,
I'm gonna take my c[Dm]hance.
I want t[C/G]o dance.
**breakdown: **
Put your hands on your [Am]hips,
and bring your knees in t[Am]ight.
Yeah, we do this thing to[Am]gether, man.
No fists, no f[Am]ights.
We're not trying to save the w[Dm]orld.
Some people think like [G]us.
We just want our own s[C/G]pace to dance man.
No favours, no [Am]fuss.
Yeah, on blood, sweat and [Dm]bile we're gonna build ourselves a house
where if the roof is on [G]fire then we're gonna put it out.
Forget about your b[C/G]itching and remember that you're blessed,
punk is for the k[F]ids who never fit in with the rest. All right.
Dm~
Somebody told that music with guitars
G~
was going out of fashion and I had to laugh.
C/G~
This shit wasn't fashionable when I fell in love.
F~ Fm
If the 'hipsters' move on, why should I give a fuck?
** 3/4 chorus: **
I want to da[C/G]nce.
I want to da[E]nce.
I want me some l[Am]ust, some love and a smattering of that ol[Dm]d-time romance.
But, I'm no good at d[C/G]ancing,
yet I have to do s[E]omething.
T[Am]onight I'm gonna play it straight, I', gonna take my c[Dm]hance.
**Chorus: **
Yeah, I want to d[C/G]ance.
I want to d[E]ance.
I want [Am]you and me both joined hands down at the [Dm]front.
So, the next time I [C/G]see you, remember these wor[E]ds.
I'll s[Am]ing like the barricades are down,
and we'll d[Dm]ance like no one's around, singing
[C/G]Four simple words.
