(fairly brisk rhythm) 

Intro:  G / / / G / / / G / / / G / / /  
        C / / / C / / / C / / / C / / / 

        G 
1.      Well, they shouldn't have played that good 

                 G                        C  / / /  
        I got carried away and let the music 

        C / / /        G / / / / / / / 
              Go to my head 

        G 
        Well, she shouldn't have worn that dress, 

                                                  C   / / /  
        The way it curled around her when she was spinnin' 

        C / / /              G / / / / / / / 
              Just killed me dead! 

        F                                         / 
        My heart began to tell my body and my soul 

             C                                    D      / 
        That it had gotten in the mood to lose control. 

        D                                   G 
Chorus: Oh, no!  When did neon lights turn into moon glow? 

        G                                D 
        When did that juke box turn to a rainbow? 

                                        G    /   / 
        I'm about to give in to this urge!   

                 C 
        One more slow dance with your arms around me, 

                 G 
        One more long glance, and nothing will slow down me! 

              D                                        G / / / / / / (n.c.) 
        I got no chance, If I'm not in love I'm on the verge! 

2.      All I wanted to be was cool,  
        It ain't my style to overheat 
              Much less burn 
        But as we floated across the floor 
        All at once I flashed right past the point 
              Of no return 
        And when we said goodnight the sun was on the rise 
        Any stars that hadn't set had fallen in my eyes 

Repeat Chorus 

Instrumental: (lead guitar Chorus, modulate up a whole step) 

Repeat last half of Chorus: 

                 C 
        One more slow dance with your arms around me, 

                 G 
        One more long glance, and nothing will slow down me! 

              D                                        G / / / 
        I got no chance, If I'm not in love I'm on the verge! 

        D       E                    E               A 
Tag:    Mmmmm, mmmmmm, If I'm not in love I'm on the verge! 

        A / / / A / / / A / / / A
