Dancin' Slow
(c) 1997 Dana Jo Forseth
This is 3 half-steps higher than record key
[Verse I]
D A
We used to fill our time with so much to do
G Em
Had to pick up the boys when they got done with school
D A
Had to pay the bills and budget right
G Em A
And sleep for whatever was left of the night
D G G/f#
We spent a lot of time cuttin' it close
Em A
To losin' sight of what mattered the most
[Chorus]
D F#m
But we'd be cookin' in the kitchen to the radio
G Em
And you'd take a minute when the song was slow
D Em D A
You'd grab my arm like we had all the time in the world
D F#m
Oh you'd never miss it when the mood was right
G Em
You'd wrap your arms around me and you'd hold me tight
D G A
For three short minutes, we'd let the whole world go
Em A D
Because you'd take the time for Dancin' Slow
[Verse II]
All the other people that I'd see each day
Would talk about how easily love fades away
And I'd think to myself how that couldn't be true
It only grew stronger between me and you
The longer we loved, the more I understood
How rare it could be to have it so good.
[Chorus]
'Cause we'd be laughin' in the kitchen by the radio
And you'd take a minute when the song was slow
And you'd grab my arm like we had all the time in the world
Oh you'd never miss it when the mood was right
You'd wrap your arms around me and you'd hold me tight
For three short minutes, we'd let the whole world go
Because you'd take the time for Dancin' Slow
