Into: Bsus4, E
    E                                  Bsus4      B
A voice like honey, no one else could fill his shoes

     E                                           Bsus4  B
The time and the weather, the headlines and the local news

            C#m                      B
He lays it down with perfection and grace

         E                          A
Done by noon, he goes home to his place

           E             B            C#m   B  E
Where he sleeps and he waits for the night

  E                                   Bsus4   B
Just before midnight he gets up, gets out of bed

   E                              Bsus4     B
A can of Red Bull, a tab of X to clear his head

               C#m                        B
He shoots his cuffs, now he's headed downtown

              E                       A
Picks up one life, puts another one down

         E                  D
And his body hums and the music's playing
Chorus:
  G              C  G      D 
Dance, Soterios Johnson, dance

        Bm                 C     D
It's a cold world, nobody understands

       Em        A           D
The feeling you can't keep inside

 G            C   G    D
Go, Soterios Johnson, go

              Bm                      C        D
All the club kids are watching your glowstick glow

          Em          A              D
With the light of a truth you can't hide

          C           G              D         B7    E
That the news is the news, but the dance goes on forever

 E                                        Bsus4   B
He shimmies his shoulders, undulates his slender hips

  E                           Bsus4      B
Arms akimbo, Jaggeresque, he pouts his lips

          C#m                      B
A circle forms, everybody comes 'round

         E                    A
Just to hear the incredible sound

        E                  D
Of a genius smashing expectations
[Chorus] Bridge:
  E     B              G
He's dancing, he's a machine

     D                         Bb
Like no one, that they've ever seen

        F                  D         B7 E
He's flying, he's living a dream_______

      E                                    Bsus4  B
The magic fades as the sun comes up, it's time he goes

   E                                          Bsus4  B
A hand on his shoulder, he turns around: it's Teri Gross

              C#m                      B
He takes her hand, spins her body just so

              E                       A
He holds her close, he will never let go

               E             D
As the room explodes, they dance like angels
chorus:
 G               C   G     D
Dance, Soterios Johnson, dance

             Bm            C      D
It's a cold world, nobody understands

       Em         A          D
The feeling you can't keep inside

 G             C  G    D 
Go, Soterios Johnson, go

              Bm                     C         D
All the club kids are watching your glowstick glow

          Em         A               D
With the light of a truth you can't hide

          C           G             D
That the news is the news, but the dance goes on

          C           G             D
That the news is the news, but the dance goes on

          C           G             D          B7     E
That the news is the news, but the dance goes on forever
