We danced together on the roof at the party,
C#m A F#m A
Five stories removed from the trouble on the street
C#m A F#m A
the sun arose revealing goose bumps on your arm
C#m A F#m A
A sign that we should move together somewhere warm.
Chorus:
E C#m
We Danced Together, We danced together
(repeat)
C#m A F#m A
We moved to the street where they tried to hold curfew
C#m A F#m A

C#m A F#m A
Helicopters circled overhead to get a better view
C#m A F#m A
We found a doorway, fell in and I held you.
[Chorus]
Chorus Extra
(same chords as chorus)
we didnt give a shit about what they would say...
and stayed up until the light turned our world/eyes grey.
we caned the money like it was our last day
two fingers up at those who wont miss us when we pass away
This was all mine. C.Jones
