Gm D#/G A7/G Late at night in summer heat. Expensive car, empty street Gm7 D# There's a wire in my jacket. This is my trade A7 D It only takes a moment, don't be afraid Cm F I can hotwire an ignition like some kind of star Gm Edim I'm just a poor boy in a rich man's car Cm Dsus4 D So I whisper to the engine, flick on the lights Gm And we drive into the night Gm D#/G Oh the smell of the leather always excited my imagination A7/G Cm And I picture myself in this different situation Gm D# I'm a company director, two kids and a wife A7 Dsus4 D I get the feeling that there's more to this one's life Cm F There's some kind of complication, he tells her he's alone Gm Edim Spends the night with his lover, there's a trace of her cologne Cm D And the words of his mistress, as she whispers them so near D# Cm Start ringing in my ear Chorus: A# D# Cm F Gm Please take me dancing tonight I've been all on my own D# Cm F Gm You promised one day we could its, what you said on the phone D# Cm F D# I'm just a prisoner of love always hid from the light F Gm Take me dancing, please take me dancing tonight I imagine his wife, she don't look nothing like a fool She picks the kids up form some private school She remembers what he told her, he was late and worked alone But there's more than a suspicion in this lingering cologne And the kid's just won't be quiet and she runs a traffic light And she drives into the night Chorus Em C Am So here am I in a stolen car at a traffic light G Gm G# A# F6 Em They go form red to green so I just drive into the night Chorus - x2 You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsAm  A#  A7  C  Cm  D  D#  Dsus4  Em  Edim  F  F6  G  Gm  G#  Gm7  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
