[Intro] Gm [Verse 1]
Gm               Eb/G         A7/G
Late at night in summer heat. Expensive car, empty street

          Gm7                Eb
There's a wire in my jacket. This is my trade

A7                      D
It only takes a moment, don't be afraid

      Cm                       F
I can hotwire an ignition like some kind of star

           Gm            Edim
I'm just a poor boy in a rich man's car

     Cm                     Dsus4        D
So I whisper to the engine, flick on the lights

       Gm
And we drive into the night
[Verse 2]
       Gm                          Eb/G        
Oh the smell of the leather always excited my imagination

      A7/G                   Cm
And I picture myself in this different situation

      Gm                    Eb
I'm a company director, two kids and a wife

A7                             Dsus4              D
I get the feeling that there's more to this one's life

             Cm                       F
There's some kind of complication, he tells her he's alone

           Gm                              Edim
Spends the night with his lover, there's a trace of her cologne

        Cm                            D 
And the words of his mistress, as she whispers them so near 

      Eb                      Cm
Start ringing in my ear
[Chorus]
Bb             Eb         Cm             F              Gm
Please take me dancing tonight I've been all on my own

             Eb         Cm                  F                 Gm
You promised one day we could its, what you said on the phone

           Eb           Cm         F            Eb
I'm just a prisoner of love always hid from the light

                 F                      Gm
Take me dancing, please take me dancing tonight
[Interlude] Gm Gm [Verse 3]
Gm                                 Eb
I imagine his wife, she don't look nothing like a fool

A7                              Dsus4   D
She picks the kids up form some private school

    Cm                                 F
She remembers what he told her, he was late and worked alone

            Gm                            Edim
But there's more than a suspicion in this lingering cologne

        Cm                                D
And the kid's just won't be quiet and she runs a traffic light

        Bb
And she [start chorus] drives into the night
[Chorus]
Bb             Eb         Cm             F              Gm
Please take me dancing tonight I've been all on my own

             Eb         Cm                  F                 Gm
You promised one day we could its, what you said on the phone

           Eb           Cm         F            Eb
I'm just a prisoner of love always hid from the light

                 F                      Em
Take me dancing, please take me dancing tonight
[Bridge]
Em                C                       Am 
So here am I in a stolen car at a traffic light

G                                   Gm    Ab Bb F6  Em                        
They go form red to green so I just drive in-to the night
[Chorus]
               C         Am         D
Please take me dancing tonight I've been all on my own

Em           C           Am                 D
You promised one day we could it's what you said on the phone

Em         C            Am         D            C
I'm just a prisoner of love always hid from the light

                 D                      Em
Take me dancing, please take me dancing tonight

               C         Am         D
Please take me dancing tonight I've been all on my own

Em           C           Am                 D
You promised one day we could it's what you said on the phone

Em         C            Am         D            C
I'm just a prisoner of love always hid from the light

                 D                      Em
Take me dancing, please take me dancing tonight
