[Verse]
F#m A
We are the last of the jukebox Romeos,
E D
We are romantics by the light of the fourway
F#m A
Came to sing out a chorus, reinvent the good times
E D
Bringin it all back home again
[Chorus]
F#m
Honey we came to dance with the girls with the stars in their eyes
A
Do the jump back jack stop and slide to the right
E D
Never break their hearts, never make 'em cry, come on
F#m
Strike up the band, play a song that everybody knows
A
If I'm not your kind then don't tell a soul
E D
I'm not the one who hates being alone, so come on
[Interlude]
F#m A E D

[Verse]
F#m
And in this unstable arena
A
Of what's left or become of my America
E D
I'm asking this dance, so come take my hand, come on
F#m
And in this unstable arena
A
Of what's left or become of my America
E D
I'm asking this dance, so come take my hand, come on, come on
[Chorus]
F#m
Honey we came to dance with the girls with the stars in their eyes
A
Do the jump back jack stop and slide to the right
E D
Never break their hearts, never make 'em cry, come on
F#m
Strike up the band, play a song that everybody knows
A
If I'm not your kind then don't tell a soul
E D
I'm not the one who hates being alone, so come on
[Bridge]
F#m A
And if they...end it all by the end of tonight
E D
If the big bomb drops down over this quiet Edison sky
F#m
We'll blow... one last kiss
A
to all the beautiful nights like this
E D
Under the central Jersey sky
[Chorus]
F#m
Honey we came to dance with the girls with the stars in their eyes
F#m
Do the jump back jack stop and slide to the right
F#m
Never break their hearts, never make 'em cry, come on
F#m
Strike up the band, play a song that everybody knows
A
If I'm not your kind then don't tell a soul
E D
I'm not the one who hates being alone, so come on
[Outro]
F#m
'Cause you ain't never had a night on the town
A
Like I could show you such a night on the town
E
And you ain't never had a song you could sing
D
Well it's a deep, dark night, and I hear you, I've been there
F#m
But these are the songs that we sing
A
Whoa-oh, these are the songs that we sing
E
You've never seen a two step (two-step)
D
Like when you seen it from your mama's house
F#m
When the kids flash like lightning to the very best dancers around
A
We learned from the very best dancers around
E
We learned from the very best dancers in town
D A
Come take my hand, 'Cause mama we came to dance
