    C#    D#m
We sway, grabbed her by
                      A#m     F#
the hips and hand and off we went
                   C#
Across the sanded floor.
           D#m
She said that's not sand, it's salt
            A#m                      F#
It will get worn Yeah, like we did before

Chorus:
  C#
I only wanna dance with you
D#m
Every time I try
   A#m                 F#
We only get an hour or so
C#
It's time to get personal, ah
D#m
We've got these times of our lives
A#m                            F#
Lets take this time to let it show
                     C#  D#m  A#m  F#
'Cause these are ours
                     C#  D#m  A#m  F#
'Cause these are ours

And we sway
When the moon shines down
And everybody's safe
Christmas lights all day
And I'm rightly so
'Cause we feel high as fuck
And everything is good
Yeah, it's good to go

I watch the snow fall down
It feels great, to be honest
Forget about the trouble
Just forget about the drama
'Cause I ain't Casanova
Baby, I can't dance for days
And this time with you
Is just amazing in so many ways

Chorus:
I only wanna dance with you
Every time I try
We only get an hour or so, yeah, its...
It's time to get personal, oh
We've got these times of our lives
Let's take this time to let it show
'Cause these are ours
Yeah, 'cause these are ours

       A#m            G#
And we stay until we want to
              C#
That's how it used to be
               F#
We never fell apart
       A#m                 G#
And we stay here until we want to
             C#
Now we just sway

Come on, dance with me
Just dance with me
Pretty thing, just dance with me

These
(Yeah, these are ours)
These are ours
These
(Yeah, these are ours...)
These are ours

We sway
