    A                  D      Bm           E              A      D  Bm  E
The dance floor's a temptress, can't make out what you're saying.
        A           D        Bm       E              A      D  Bm  E
But you rub me the right way, And you shout like persuasion.

I got my hands in my pockets, And I'm crossing my fingers.

And your eyes keep on shifting, to the boys that don't matter.
