F A# F There's A girl on the floor, she dances way out Dm A# F She's a snub nose beauty, she's a no doubt A# D# A# 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. We busted a move, we got the hell out We got stories to tell, we got our whole life We drink coffee till late because we jet lagged We put a fortune into the greatest music machine in the land Chorus: Dm A Play a wonderful song to me and it's Dm better than a date A Play the tune where the girl sings high D# She's my lover surrogate G# And the waitress is rolling by, shining high D# Smiling for a tip C Every boy dreams of it So the girl dances in, she takes the next booth I break the rule of my life, I make a, a big move 'Cause my accent is funny, got a, a head start If you wanna make good, you got to use what you got We go with her friends and there’s a, a big crowd There’s a girl who can’t stand up till she falls down There’s a pressure that’s building and it’s too late 'Cause she leaves in the morning, there’s a flight, it’s a family affair Chorus: Play a wonderful song to me and it’s better than a date Play the tune where the girl sings high, she’s my lover surrogate And the waitresses rolling by, shining high, smiling for a tip Every boy dreams of it Hey, play a wonderful song to me and it’s better than a date Play the tune where the girl sings high, she’s my lover surrogate And the waitresses rolling by, shining high, smiling for a tip Every boy dreams of it So we met a month later, she had a long hair She was driving the bus I paid the full fare It was easy to talk and she drove real fast And she told me the story of her dirty old past All the boys she had loved and all the bad sex All the things she must learn and all her prospects I was there for the ride and for the old soul But we couldn’t go further, no we couldn’t go But we couldn’t go further, no we couldn’t go But we couldn’t go further 'cause the story was already told You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA A# C D# Dm F G# Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
