[Verse 1]
G
 They can come take it all away

G
 Break you heart by the light of day

Em                    C/G
 Drown your love in a distant bay

   G
So lonely

G
 See the ships heading for the rocks

G
 See the time melting off of the clocks

Em                        C/G
 There's a light shatters all the locks

    G
And saves me

   D
It saves me
[Chorus]
G
That's why I wander and follow La Vie Dansante

G
 On the night wind that takes me

             C/G
Just where I want

             Am
That's all I want

             G
La Vie Dansante

G
Why don't you wander and follow La Vie Dansante

G
 On the night wind that takes you

               C/G
Just where you want

               Am
That's all you want

             G
La Vie Dansante
[Verse 2]
G
 Miss the beat if you close your eyes

G
 Every night wears a new disguise

Em                 C/G                G
 And I live when a new surprise surrenders

G
 Feed it all with a willing heart

G
 Every stop, is a place to start

Em                  C/G                G
 If you know how to play the part with feeling

            D
I play with feeling
[Chorus]
G
That's why I wander and follow La Vie Dansante

G
 On the night wind that takes me

             C/G
Just where I want

             Am
That's all I want

             G
La Vie Dansante

G
Why don't you wander and follow La Vie Dansante

G
 On the night wind that takes you

That's all you want
