Verse 1
(G sharpdim) Be (C major) cause we're all so very (E major) twenty first century,
(A minor) You're probably listening to me
(D minor) on some kind of portable stereo
(C major) Maybe (D minor) you're sitting (C major) on the back of the bus,
Or it's (E major) running up your sleeve,
and you're across from your boss,
(A minor) Or you're sitting in your bedroom
on your own with the (C major) lights down low (D minor)
I'd like to teach you four simple words,
so (G major) that next time you come to a show,
You could sing (F major) those word (C major) s back at me
like they're the (F major) only ones that you (F minor) know:
(D minor) I
Verse 2
want to (C major) dance, I want to (E major) dance
I want (A minor) lust and love and
a smattering of (C major) ro (D minor) mance
But I'm no (A minor) good at (C major) dancing,
yet I have to do something (E major)
To (A minor) night I'm going to play it straight,
I'm going to (C major) take my (D minor) chance, I want to (C major) dance
(D minor) (G major)

Verse 3
(D minor)
(A minor) Hi ho hi ho hi ho,
we're heading (D minor) out to the punk rock show
Colleagues and friend
(C major) s condescend with a smile,
But this is my cul (G major) ture man,
this is my home
The dark huddled (A minor) masses
gather at the gate,
Yeah, the doors are (D minor) at
7, and the show starts at 8
A few precious (C major) hours in a space of our own,
And when the band comes (G major) on, the
only thing I really know:
Verse 4
I (G major) want to (C major) dance, I want to (E major) dance
I want (A minor) lust and love and a
smatter (D minor) ing (A minor) of romance
(D minor) But I'm no good at (C major) dancing,
and yet I have to do (E major) something
To (A minor) night I'm going to play it straight, (D minor) I'm going to take (C major) my (F major) chance,
(D minor) I (F major) want to (C major) dance
Interlude 1
(A minor) (D minor)
(C major) (G major)
Yeah is (A minor) anybody else
Verse 5
sick
of the music
That's churned out by (D minor) lacklustre
scenesters from Shoreditch?
Yeah it's all (C major) sex drugs and sins,
like they're extras from Skins,
(G major) But it's OK because
they don't really mean it
I want band (A minor) s who had to
work for their keep,
Drove a thousand (D minor) miles and played
a show on no sleep,
Sleeping on the (C major) floor in a
stranger's place,
Hungry just to (G major) do it all again the next day
Verse 6
I (G major) want to (C major) dance, I want to (E major) dance
I want (A minor) lust and love and a
smattering of ro (F major) mance
(D minor) But I'm no good at (C major) dancing,
and yet I have to do (E major) something
To (A minor) night I'm going to play it straight,
I'm (D minor) going to (A minor) take my (F major) chance, (D minor) I (F major) want to (C major) dance
(D minor)
Verse 7
So (E major) put your hands (D minor) on your (A minor) hips,
bring your knees in tight
Yeah we do this shit together man,
no fists, no fights
We're not trying to (D minor) shape the
world so people think (C major) like (G major) us,
We just want our own (C major) space to dance,
(D minor) no fa (C major) vors no (F major) fuss
On blood sweat and (D minor) vinyl we
have a built ourselves a house,
So if the roof is on (G major) fire then we're
going to put it out
Forget about the (C major) bitching and remember
that you're blessed,
Punk is for the (F major) kids who never fit in with the rest,
alright
(D minor) Somebody told me that music with guitars
Was (G major) going out of fashion,
and I had to laugh
This (C major) shit wasn't fashionable
when I fell in love,
If (F major) the hipsters move on
why should I give a fuck? (F minor)
Verse 8
I want to dance, (C major) I want to (E major) dance,
(A minor) I want me some lust and love and a smattering
of that old (F major) time (D minor) romance
But I'm no good at (C major) dancing,
(G major) (C major) yet I (G major) have to do something (E major)
To (A minor) night I'm going to play it straight,
I'm going to take my (D minor) chance
Yeah, I want to (C major) dance, I want (E major) to dance
I want (A minor) me and you both to join (D minor) hands
down (A minor) at (C major) the front (A minor) (D minor)
So the next time I (C major) see you,
remember these (E major) words so
We'll (A minor) sing like the barricades (D minor) are down,
(C major) and we'll dance (F major) like no one's around,
Singing (C major) four simple words
