[Intro]
F Bm F Bm

[Verse 1]
           Bm
Met a dancer
                C
Who was high in a field
                D
From her movement
                   Em                          C
Caught my breath on my way home
               G7                            Dm
Couldn't stop that sprinning force
         G7
I felt envy
                  Dm
Everything around seemed to giggle glee
                   F               G                 F        G
She walked up with a flower and I cared

F Bm F Bm

[Verse 2]
              Bm
Saw the dancer
                C                                          D
Who gets wild to the beats of record rhythms
             Em                      C
But I'm always away for weeks
                 G7
That pass slow my
                 Dm
Mind gets lost
             G7                                 Dm
Feeling envy for the kid who'll dance despite anything
   F                         G                       F
I walk out in the flowers and feel better

[Bridge]
                F                    G                  C
If I could just leave my body for the night

Dm Dm Dm Dm F G C Dm Dm Dm Dm

[Pre-Chorus]
F                            G
Then we could be dancing
                C                                 Dm
No more missing you while I'm gone
F                             G
There we could be dancing
                 C                                       Dm
And you'd smile and say, "I like this song"
F                                    G
And when our eyes will meet then
             C                              Dm
We will recognize nothing's wrong
          F                         G
And I wouldn't feel so selfish
   C                                  Dm
I won't be this way very long

[Chorus]
      G                  Dm
To hold you in time
      G                  Dm
To hold you in time
      G                  Dm
To hold you in time
      G                  Dm
To hold you in time

F Bm F Bm

[Verse 3]
                        Bm
While we were dancing
         C
Early hours
                                  D
Drunken days finally ended
              Em                                  C
And the streets turned for a pillowcase
            G7                         Dm
Then I fumbled our good lock
                G7                                Dm
Then the ecstasy turns to rising light

Through our windowpane
              F
Now I'm gone
          G                       F
I left flowers for you there

F Bm F Bm
