 Am                         D
God walks home through the local park
G                        C         G/B
Meets the devil with a broken heart
               Am                  D
He says "I've been let down by the armies
of darkness
G                     C   G/B
Oh my whole life's a mess"
            Am
And God says

Am              D
"I've got the cure
G                  C         G/B
I'm holding on to something pure
Am            D         G
I've got the cure for you

Chorus:
G                    Am
All you gotta do is dance
            D
Pick your feet up
                 G
All you gotta do is dance
           C
Feel the beat, love
           G/B          Am
All you've gotta do is dance
 D          G
Dance with me"

Now the devil thanks God and he's on his way
Skip in his stride, what a beautiful day
And then along comes a slacker with
some fun in his hand
Beelzebub knows he's got to save this man
And the devil says

"I got the cure
I'm holding on to something pure
I got the cure for you

Chorus:
All you gotta do is dance
Pick your feet up
All you gotta do is dance
Feel the beat, love
All you've gotta do is dance
Dance with me
All you gotta do is dance
Pick your feet up
All you gotta do is dance
Feel the beat, love
All you've gotta do is dance
Dance with me"

     Am             D
The trees became a multitude of angels
G       D/F#       Em       D
Singing out like a gospel choir
         Am                      D
And the benches in the park rose up
                  G          D
To become their chariots of fire
    Am    D
Oh fire, yeah
          G
They rose up
          D/F#
They rose up
                 Em         D
To become their chariots of fire
Am        D
(And the benches in the park rose up
          G
And they dance with God and Beelzebub)
God said

Chorus:
"All you gotta do is dance
Pick your feet up
All you gotta do is dance
Feel the beat, love
All you've gotta do is dance
Dance with me
All you gotta do is dance
Pick your feet up
All you gotta do is dance
Feel the beat, love
All you've gotta do is dance
Dance with me
All you gotta do is dance
Pick your feet up
All you gotta do is dance
Feel the beat, love
All you've gotta do is dance
Dance with me"
