Girls in Peacetime Want to Dance
This song is included in the 4LP version of Girls in Peacetime. I really like this song
and this is the first time I've submitted chords. Hope it's pretty close. Enjoy!
F Bb F
There's A girl on the floor, she dances way out
Dm Bb F
She's a snub nose beauty, she's a no doubt
Bb Eb Bb
But if I talk to her, I even Look hard
F C
She'll be out of this place and she'll be out of my life.
F Bb F
So we busted a move we got the hell out
Dm Bb F
We got stories to tell, we got our whole life
Bb Eb Bb
We drink coffee till late because we jet lagged
F
We put a fortune into the greatest
C Dm
Music machine in the land
A Dm
Play a wonderful song to me and it's better than a date
A
Play the tune where the girl sings high
Eb
She's my lover surrogate
Ab
And the waitress is rolling by, shining high
Eb
Smiling for a tip
C
Every boy dreams of it
F Bb F
So the girl dances in, she takes the next booth
Dm Bb F
I break the rule of my life, I make a big move
Bb Eb Bb
Cos my accent is funny, got a head start
F C
If you wannt make good, you got to use what you got
F Bb F
We go with her friends and there's a big crowd
Dm Bb F
There's a girl who can't stand up till she falls down
Bb Eb Bb
There's a pressure that's building and it's too late
F C
Cos she leaves in the morning, there's a flight
Dm
It's a family affair
A Dm
Play a wonderful song to me and it's better than a date
A
Play the tune where the girl sings high
Eb
She's my lover surrogate
Ab
And the waitress is rolling by, shining high
Eb
Smiling for a tip
C
Every boy dreams of it
Instrumental
F Bb F Dm Bb F Bb Eb Bb F C x 2 Dm
A Dm
Play a wonderful song to me and it's better than a date
A
Play the tune where the girl sings high
Eb
She's my lover surrogate
Ab
And the waitress is rolling by, shining high
Eb
Smiling for a tip
C
Every boy dreams of it
F Bb F
So we met a month later, she had long hair
Dm Bb F
She was driving the bus I paid the full fare
Bb Eb Bb
It was easy to talk and she drove real fast
F C
And she told me the story of her dirty old past
F Bb F
All the boys she had loved and all the bad sex
Dm Bb F
All the things she must learn and all her prospects
Bb Eb Bb
I was there for the ride and for the old soul
F C
BUt we couldn't go further, no we couldn't go
F C
But we couldn't go further, no we couldn't go
F C F
But we couldn't go further cos the story was already told.
