      A                B                C#m7   B
She's thinking about what her kids are doing
     A                B               C#m7  B
Five miles away, it's almost time for bed
        A                   B                 C#m7 B
They're brushing teeth and hearing one more story
            A          B                A
And in the mirror she paints her lips bright red
     A                B                C#m7     B
She wishes she could call and say she loves them
         A               B        C#m7    B
But the bossman says no calls go out or in
        A          B                    C#m7 B
So she puts on a dress that might feel pretty
        F#m                        A
If she didnt have to take it off again

Chorus:
E                     B/D#
She's dancin for the Groceries
                      C#m7
She's dancin for the rent
                        A
She's dancing for the credit
                           E
cards that she's already spent
                    B/D#
In sequence and in laces
                      C#m7
She's dancing for the braces
                                 A
So her kids can have a perfect smile someday
F#m                E/G#
Smiling While she dances
A                        E B C#m7 B
Is the price she has to pay

They tell her in this job there is no future
So get it while you can Cause looks don't last
There money in those pockets for the take in
If u do it right it makes the time go fast
The music loud the drinks are mostly water
What's her name is tonight she can't recall
The business men stair at the single mother
Whose smiling while she's staring at the wall

Chorus

     G                 A                E
Someday she'll have a house out in the country
     G                 A              E
Someday she'll see the other side of dawn
       C#m7            B
And no one will ever know
         A             E
But at what she did before
F#m                        A
She just heard the dj say your on
        F#m            E/G#
And the lights come up
               B
And they play her song

Chorus
