Em7 Dsus2
When I passed you in the doorway
C G
you took me with a glance
Em7 Dsus2
should have took that last bus home
C G
but I asked you for a dance
Em7 Dsus2
now we were steady to the pictures
C G
I always get chocolate stains on my pants
Em7 Dsus2
father says he's going crazy
C G G
says I'm living in a trance
Em7 Dsus2
Dancing in the moonlight
C G
it's caught me in it's spotlight
Em7
it's alright it's alright the moonlight
Dsus2 C G
this long hot summer night
Em7 Dsus2
It's three o'clock in the morning
C G
I'm on the streets again
Em7 Dsus2
disobeyed another warning
C G
shoulda been home by ten
Em7 Dsus2
now I stay out 'till Sunday
C G
I have to say I stayed with friends
Em7 Dsus2
it's a habit worth forming
C G G
it means to justify the end
Em7
Dancing in the moonlight
Dsu2 C
it's caught me in it's spotlight
G Em7
it's alright it's alright the moonlight
Dsus2 C G
this long hot summer night

Dancing in the moonlight
