Melissa Etheridge - You Used To Love To Dance

[Intro]
A

[Verse 1]
A
Lying in a city night
G
A million fingers tingling my skin
A
Out there in the sea tonight
G
I thought I saw you clutching your sin
Bm
You rolled me over long ago
G A
And told me you were strong enough to go
Bm
You needed more than this lover’s dream
G E
You need the steel and the concrete beams in your life
E
In your life

[Chorus]
D
But we laughed and drank in that jukebox light
G
And we tore the rug in that downtown dive
A
Every Saturday night
D
Hey, for fifty cents we’d dance all night long
G
And each new tune we said that’s our song
A
Oh it felt so right
Bm
Well ecstasy ain’t free
E
But compromise is chance
G
I remember how
D A
You used to love to dance

[Verse 2]
A
They told me you have found your love
G
You moved in, locked up and put out your blues
A
Well all God’s children got to grow up
G
And play house, make vows to hang up their shoes
Bm
Do you sit and talk over coffee cups?
G A
Do headline mornings satisfy and fill you up?
Bm
I kept your eyes and your cigarette kiss
G E
You couldn’t keep the lies, the adrenaline bliss in your life
A E
In your life

[Chorus]
D
But we laughed and drank in that jukebox light
G
And we tore the rug in that downtown dive
A
Every Saturday night
D
Hey, for fifty cents we’d dance all night long
G
And each new tune we said that’s our song
A
Oh it felt so right
Bm
Well ecstasy ain’t free
E
But compromise is chance
G
I remember how
D A
You used to love to dance

[Interlude]
A

[Bridge]
Bm
Oh I’m gonna go out tonight
C#m
I’m gonna drive up to the hill
D
Hey, I’m gonna dive on into those city lights
E
And I’m gonna dance, dance
E
Dance ‘til I get my fill

[Chorus]
D
Oh we laughed and drank in that jukebox light
G
Tore the rug in that downtown dive
A
Every Saturday night
D
Yeah, for fifty cents we’d dance all night long
G
Each new tune we swore that’s our song
A
It felt so right
Bm
Well I know, I know ecstasy ain’t free
E
But compromise is chance
G D
I remember how

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Ah-ha, oh no

Oh ho, yeah, ho
