[Intro] G F Am C G F Am C Em Em [Verse 1]
              Em      C       Am
How did I get here? I heard a rumour

                       Em     C        Am
From your girlfriend's sister that you knew me

               Em      C      Am
And you end up dancing closer to me
Em C Am
              Em        C      Am
I know that I broke the rule already

                    Em       C     Am
She asked me if I'm single. "Going steady"

               Em       C      Am
I just drop my head and took a step off

           Em  C  Am
Into the dark
[Pre-Chorus]
Em              C               Am
Standing on the black and white tiles

      Em           C                 Am
Don't dance on the lights 'cause the bears eat the pretty ones

Em              C         Am
We are like the islands divided
Em C Am [Chorus]
Em          C           Am
Jump to the beat of the party line

Em          C           Am
Jump to the beat of the party line

         Em        C        Am
There is no one in here but your body, dear

Em          C           Am
Jump to the beat of the party line

Em  C  Am
Stay

    Em  C  Am
You stay
[Instrumental] G F Am C Em Em [Verse 2]
             Em      C     Am
I am on this morning quite distracted

                 Em      C    Am
The tug of war begins in our emotion

             Em   C      Am
I am leaving many people feeling worse than before
Em C Am
               Em        C        Am
People like to drive the cars and smoke up

               Em    C        Am
People like to sit inside and toke up

               Em       C           Am
People like to shoot at things with borrowed guns and knives
Em C Am [Pre-Chorus]
Em         C           Am
I am happy to look and run

Em             C          Am
Where were you when I was king in this part of town?

Em              C         Am
Now the days of glory are gone
Em C Am [Chorus]
Em          C           Am
