Intro
G                     F
Now You are a boy, an orphan boy,

    Eb             Bb
And deep inside of you.

  Cm             Bb
A broken soul, a gaping hole,

    Ab              D 
Has left you feeling blue.

    G                   F
But you’re not like the other boys.

       Eb             Bb
You’ve got that magic flair.

       Gm                Ab
‘Cause when you start to sway, 

        Eb
You get carried away,

    G             D
And no one can compare.
Verse 1
G
I’ve been watching you play, 

          D
I’ve been listening to the things that you say,

         C
And I’ve come to tell you today, 

          G        D 
You’re no ordinary blighter.

G
You’ve got a broken heart,

             D
And you keep reaching inside to tear it apart,

        C
But I’m here to give you a brand new start

       G                D 
And to make your spirits brighter.
Pre-chorus 1
F                       Em
When all the other boys start to laugh and jeer,

Dm                          F              G
I know a secret way you can make them disappear.

C              C#m          G            E 
You’ve got the talent, kid, this is your chance!

Am                        F    
They might not understand, but just stick to the plan,

C                              E
And show them all it’s time to dance.
Chorus
       A             A#m        
Always dance, always dance,

               Bm               E      A
Though they’ll try to stop you, always dance.

          D                   Dm
Shut your mouth and stop your yapping,

          A                 F#
Take your foot and start it tapping!

Bm              E             A                  F#
You were born a magic boy, so leap and twirl and prance!

   Bm     E      A
Oh Tommy, always dance.
Verse 2
A                              E
I’ve been ready to go, for how long I really don’t know,

        D
But one look at you and I know, 

     A               E 
That you would never fool me.

A                            E
I’ve been living a lie, ever since I made my poor mommy die,

          D
I’ve been softly wondering why,

         A             E 
They all choose to ridicule me.
Pre-chorus 2
F                       Em

Though they’ll try to stop you, always dance.

Shut your mouth and stop your yapping,

          A                 F#
Take your foot and start it tapping!

Oh Dumby I'll always dance.

Watch his technique, check out his flow.

My, how he leaps! Oh, what a prance!

Look at him, look at him, look at him dance!

Though they’ll try to stop you, always dance.

Shut your mouth and stop your yapping, 

          G               E
Take your foot and set it tapping.

So leap and twirl and prance!
