[Intro]
G F Am C
G F Am C
Em Em

[Verse 1]
                      Em        C           Am
How did I get here? I heard a rumour
                                   Em      C             Am
From your girlfriend's sister that you knew me
                          Em          C        Am
And you end up dancing closer to me
Em C Am

                     Em             C      Am
I know that I broke the rule already
                                Em         C         Am
She asked me if I'm single. "Going steady"
                        Em           C         Am
I just drop my head and took a step off
               Em C Am
Into the dark

[Pre-Chorus]
Em                      C                        Am
Standing on the black and white tiles
           Em                 C                         Am
Don't dance on the lights 'cause the bears eat the pretty ones
Em                     C            Am
We are like the islands divided
Em C Am

[Chorus]
Em               C                  Am
Jump to the beat of the party line
Em               C                  Am
Jump to the beat of the party line
              Em            C             Am
There is no one in here but your body, dear
Em               C                  Am
Jump to the beat of the party line

Em  C Am
Stay
        Em  C  Am
You stay

[Instrumental]
G F Am C
Em Em

[Verse 2]
                    Em           C        Am
I am on this morning quite distracted
                          Em          C      Am
The tug of war begins in our emotion
                     Em      C          Am
I am leaving many people feeling worse than before
Em C Am

                       Em           C             Am
People like to drive the cars and smoke up
                       Em    C             Am
People like to sit inside and toke up
                       Em          C                 Am
People like to shoot at things with borrowed guns and knives
Em C Am

[Pre-Chorus]
Em              C                  Am
I am happy to look and run
Em                     C                  Am
Where were you when I was king in this part of town?
Em                      C              Am
Now the days of glory are gone
Em C Am

[Ulangi Chorus] x4
