[Introduction]
C
[Verse 1]
C G Am F
Sweet is the melody, so hard to come by
C G G/A
it's so hard to make every note bind just right
G/B C G Am F
You lay down the hours and leave not one trace
C G G/A G/B C
But a tune for the dancing is there in it's place
[Verse 2]
G G/A G/B C G Am F
Well the dance floors for gliding, not jumping over ponies
C G G7
Where boots and gold bracelets come and meet as they should

Forgetting the bad stuff and just feeling good
[Verse 3]

And dare to discover the new melody
