[Verse 1]
Oh yeah
D A G Well she started out, just to be a dancer D A Gonna make her livin' dancin' G In the Broadway shows D So she hitchhiked cross the country A G From Pasaroba to the Big Red Apple Em Where your dreams are made A D Your debts must be paid on time
[Chorus]
G A D I'll hold you close, Taxi Dancer G A And I'll listen to how your outgrew your dreams D How they faded away G A D I'll hold you close, Taxi Dancer Em A D We can pretend this floor is the Broadway stage
[Verse 2]
D A G Well she wasn't used to livin' in the city D So she took a job cleanin' up as a maid A G At the Grammercy Park Hotel D And all her auditions A G They didn't turn out so pretty Em So she took a job dancin' A D At the bar down the street as well
[Chorus]
G A D I'll hold you close, Taxi Dancer G A And I'll listen to how your outgrew your dreams D How they faded away G A D I'll hold you close, Taxi Dancer Em A D We can pretend this floor is the Broadway stage
[Verse 3]
D Well I don't know how long or how far A G Her fortune did take her D But I heard she sits alone drunk A G In a bar downtown on 42nd Street D And sometimes an old Butch A G Will slip a quarter into the jukebox Em And she'll stagger to the bar A G And dance with that girl for free
[Chorus]
G A D I'll hold you close, Taxi Dancer G A And I'll listen to how your outgrew your dreams D How they faded away G A D I'll hold you close, Taxi Dancer Em A D We can pretend this floor is the Broadway stage
