Intro: 

Verse 1:
E5                       G5
We are the last of the jukebox Romeos, 
            D5                             C5
We are romantics by the light of the fourway
                       E5                 G5
Came to sing out a chorus, reinvent the good times
             D5              C5
Bring'in it all back home again

[Chorus:]
      E5
Honey we came to dance with the girls with the stars in their eyes
        G5
Do the jump back jack stop and slide to the right
D5                                                C5
Never break their hearts, never make 'em cry, come on
E5
Strike up the band, play a song that everybody knows
 G5
If I'm not your kind then don't tell a soul
D5                                               C5
I'm not the one who hates being alone, so come on

Interlude: E5 G5 D5 C5

Verse 2:
E5 
And in the sun-stabled arena
G5
Of what's left or become of my America
D5                                             C5
I'm asking this dance, so come take my hand, come on
E5 
And in the sun-stabled arena
G5
Of what's left or become of my America
D5                                             C5
I'm asking this dance, so come take my hand, come on

Chorus:
      E5
Honey we came to dance with the girls with the stars in their eyes
        G5
Do the jump back jack stop and slide to the right
D5                                                C5
Never break their hearts, never make 'em cry, come on
E5
Strike up the band, play a song that everybody knows
 G5
If I'm not your kind then don't tell a soul
D5                                               C5
I'm not the one who hates being alone, so come on 

Bridge: 
(One strum- *)

E5 *                      G5 *    
And if they end it all by the end of tonight
D5 *                                    C5
If the big bomb drops down over this quiet Edison sky
E5                       G5
We'll blow one last kiss to all the beautiful nights like this
D5 ( D5 hammer)       C5
Under the central Jersey sky

Chorus:
      E5 (Staccato)
Honey we came to dance with the girls with the stars in their eyes
        G5 (Staccato)
Do the jump back jack stop and slide to the right
D(Staccato)                                       C5 (Staccato)
Never break their hearts, never make 'em cry, come on
E5
Strike up the band, play a song that everybody knows
 G5
If I'm not your kind then don't tell a soul
D5                                               C5
I'm not the one who hates being alone, so come on 

Outro:
E5
'Cause you ain't never had a night on the town
G5
Like I could show you such a night on the town
D5
And you ain't never had a song you could sing
           C5
Well it's a deep, dark night, and I hear you, I've been there
E5
But these are the songs that we sing
          G5
Whoa-oh, these are the songs that we sing
                     D5        D5
You've never seen a two step (two-step)
                                 C5
Like when you seen it from your mama's house
                                           E5
When the kids flash like lightning to the very best dancers around
                     G5
We learned from the very best dancers around
                      D5
We learned from the very best dancers in town
              C5
Come take my hand
                        G5
'Cause mama we came to dance
