dodie – Pas De Deux (Guitar)

C
Poppy's a dancer

Am
Just turned 16

           F
Stares at boys who wear glasses

            C
In look magazines

C
Here comes Tommy

        Am
With glasses and all

F
Flowers in hand and ambitious plans

     C
It's not hard to fall

        C
She's walking on rivers

    Am
he lifts her above

       F
she's full of belonging 

                C
and so full of love

       C
Things get a bit louder

          Am
Tommy's focused on plans

      F
His smile's replaced with an aggressive face

            C
But she'll still hold his hand.

           C
Now she's given up dancing

       Am
Tommy says she's too old

          F
He says focus on me but she disagrees

            C
While she does as she's told

          C
Are you walking on eggshells

         Am
And when push comes to shove

         F
Are you full of belonging 

                 C
But not full of love

C
Back to the studio

               Am
Where she was told not to go

         F
Feeling sick with guilt, the tension builds

        C
As she opens the door

     C
And what else would be there

        Am
But a trusting pair

     F                                    C
Of strong bodies, lacking in worries, performing a pas de deux

C
I am not right

     Am
Yes this is what's right

F
Souls, and hearts and minds intertwined

   C                    
I won't be defined by him anymore.

          C
She was walking on eggshells

          Am
And when push came to shove,

         F
She was full of belonging

                  C
But not full of love.

     C
So goodbye to tommy

     Am
And hello to sam,

     F
He doesn't wear glasses, but he loves how she dances

      C
And he'll hold her hand.

      C
Yes Poppy's a dancer,

      Am
with plans of her own

        F
you'll see her and partner 

        C
in the old studio

         C
She's walking on rivers

    Am
He lifts her above

         F
they're full of belonging

                C
and so full of love.
