Matchbox Twenty - Come Dancing: Guitar Chords

G
They put a parking lot on a piece of land
D                              G
When the supermarket used to stand
G
Before that they put up a bowling alley
D                                      G
On the site that used to be the local palais

C                          G
That's where the big bands used to come and play
D                    G
My sister went there on a Saturday

Chorus:
      C
Come dancing
                   G
All her boyfriends used to come and call
              D            C         G  D G
Why not come dancing, it's only natural?

Another Saturday, another date
She would be ready but she's always make him wait
In the hallway, in anticipation
He didn't know the night would end up in frustration

He'd end up blowing all his wages for the week
All for a cuddle and a peck on the cheek

Chorus:
      C
Come dancing
                            G
That's how they did it when I was just a kid
                         D
And when they said come dancing
    C
My sister always did

    Em                 D            C
My sister should have come home at midnight
        Em               D          C
And my mom would always sit up and wait
      Em        D        C
It always ended up in a big fight
         Em           D        C
When my sister would get home late
G             D
Out of my window I can see them in the moonlight
G                                               D  G
Two silhouettes saying goodnight by the garden gate
     Em        D               C
The day they knocked down the palais
    Em      D         C
My sister stood and cried
Em              D               C
 The day they knocked down the palais
Em            D        C
 Part of my childhood died, just died

Now I'm grown up and playing in a band
And there's a car park where the palais used to
stand
My sister's married and she lives on an estate
Her daughters go out, now it's her turn to wait

She knows they get away with things she never could
But if I asked her I wonder if she would

Chorus:
Come dancing
Come on sister, have yourself a ball
Don't be afraid to come dancing
It's only natural

Come dancing
Just like the palais on a Saturday
And all her friends will come dancing
Where the big bands used to play
