I was afraid of the love that you asked for

The answer

Chorus:
G#                          F
The fire in you is long gone
It burned too bright like the red sun
G#                         D#
The child in me is elsewhere

(Elsewhere, elsewhere, elsewhere)
       Cm
On the dance floor

Love is not a choice
(All of the kids on the dance floor)
Wasted girls and boys
(Let us be free on the dance floor)

I was afraid of the love that you asked for
You asked for
You were the light in my eyes; you're the answer
The answer

Elsewhere (elsewhere, elsewhere, elsewhere)

On the dance floor, ah

       Cm
On the dance floor, mmm

I was afraid of the love that you asked for
You asked for
You were the light in my eyes; you're the answer
The answer

Chorus

The child in me is elsewhere
On the dance floor
The child in me is elsewhere
On the dance floor..
