             F Bb
Hey Mr. Tough
C               Bb             F      Bb C Bb
Don't you think we've suffered enough?
              F              Bb        C 
Why don't you meet me on the dancefloor
Bb                 F    Bb C Bb
When it's Tiny Tom time?
           F               Bb        C   Bb
And if you need to tell me something once
F                 Bb     C    Bb
You won't have to say it twice
           F         Bb    C
And if you ask for a nickel
          Bb         F   Bb C Bb
I'm gonna hand you a dime

C
And we'll forget about our problems
Bb                       F  
Ignore them for a little while
C
And leave our worries in the corner
Bb                      F  
Leave them in a big big pile
G#      Gm                F
Pretend everything can be alright
 
             F Bb
Hey Mrs. Blue
C                Bb        F  Bb C Bb
Time to think of something new
             F            Bb  C Bb
The Possum's spinning our hips
             F   Bb C Bb
The old soft shoe
           F     Bb                        C Bb
And if you wanna lose the rest of the night
        F              Bb        C  Bb
There's nothing better I have to do
         F        Bb
And if I tell you something
C                 Bb          F   Bb C Bb
You won't have to ask if it's true

C
And we'll forget about our problems
Bb                       F  
Ignore them for a little while
C
And leave our worries in the corner
Bb                      F  
Leave them in a big big pile
G#      Gm                F      F A C
Pretend everything can be alright

Dm                  C
Alone in our pad on Saturday night
Bb               F    F A C
Hemmed in by the room
Dm                      C
But hiding at a crowded party
Bb                            Gm     C
The record's playing for just me and you
