Verse
         Am                        F
Shall we dance, or maybe just limp around?
             Am                         F
These feet are cold and beat and strangers to the ground
    Am                                 F
The sound of the kick is arousing, the couples are sweet in their love
  Am                                          F
Tonight we'll stagger up from the basement or fall to our deaths from above

Pre Chorus
C                       G     F
You got those moves and those eyes
C                      G   F
I got these shakes and bad breath

Chorus
           Am (pause)             Am (pause)             Am (pause)        G            F
I've never tried that, I've never tried that, I've never tried that, but I know I don't like it
           Am (pause)             Am (pause)             Am (pause)        G            F
I've never tried that, I've never tried that, I've never tried that, but I know I don't like it
   C       G               Am          F         C       G               Am          F
Or maybe I do and I'm just too weak to fight it, maybe I do and I'm just too weak to fight it
C       G               Am          F               C             G                 F
Maybe I do and I'm just too weak to fight it, where are you where are you I hate to let 'em see me cryin'
C      G      Am      F

Verse
          C (pause)
I'm gonna zip up my party suit and show ya'll something
      G (pause)
There ain't no such thing as strumpin' for nothing
        Am (pause)
You can fly with us or hang on to the walls
        F (pause)
But the devil's takin' names when the last curtain falls
        Am
I got a deep sick worry and I don't know why
      C             G                F
Where are you where are you what are you doing tonight
Am
Laughing and crying are almost the same
          F
They just show everyone how much attention you're paying

Chorus
           Am (pause)             Am (pause)             Am (pause)        G            F
I've never tried that, I've never tried that, I've never tried that, but I know I don't like it
           Am (pause)             Am (pause)             Am (pause)        G            F
I've never tried that, I've never tried that, I've never tried that, but I know I don't like it
   C       G               Am          F         C       G               Am          F
Or maybe I do and I'm just too weak to fight it, maybe I do and I'm just too weak to fight it
C       G               Am          F               C             G                 F
Maybe I do and I'm just too weak to fight it, where are you where are you I hate to let 'em see me cryin'

Outro
   C        G     Am                 F
So dry them eyes, everyone else went back inside
C                       G
Laughing and crying are almost the same
          Am                        F
They just show everyone how much attention you're paying
   C   G    F              C         G    F
So dry them eyes, everyone else went back inside

Am (strum)  G (strum)   Am (strum)
