C
Writin' you down like you're mine
                   Am
on the lines of my body
C
Call me obsessed, but I'd die if you
              Am
were to speak to me

(Dance some more, dance some more,
dance some more, dance some more)

Out on the street or in my dreams,
wouldn't dare to embrace you
No other choice but to watch you
and then recreate you

(Dance some more, dance some more,
dance some more, dance some more)

Chorus:
Am           G
Dancin' for portraits of you
 F
Portraits of you
 G                      F
Portraits of you in my room

(Dance some more, dance some more,
dance some more, dance some more)

Maybe the fantasy ends with every imperfection
Started all over again just to keep
your attention, attention, ooh
(Dance some more, dance some more,
 dance some more, dance some more)

Chorus:
Dancin' for portraits of you
Portraits of you
Portraits of you in my room
Portraits of you
(Too many) Portraits of you
Portraits of you in my room

Portraits of you
Portraits of you
Portraits of you in my room
(Dancin' for) Portraits of you
Portraits of you
Portraits of you in my room
