Dance, Dance

Words & Music:

Patrick Stumph, Peter Wentz, Andrew Hurley & Joseph Trohman (Fall Out Boy)

 

This is fully transcribed in Guitar World.  Play chords as power chords (no 3rd).

 

[1st 2 lines - bass & drums only on original recording - chords are implied]

B        D        A   G           D       A  [etc.]

She says she's no good with words but I'm worse.

Barely stuttered out a joke of a romantic stuck to my tongue.

B            D          A  G            D   A

Weighed down with words too over-dramatic.

B             D            A         G             D              A

Tonight it's "It can't get much worse" vs. "No one should ever feel like..."

 

PRE-CHORUS 1:

B                      D

I'm two quarters and a heart down.

A           G                       D     A  [etc.]

And I don't want to forget how your voice sounds.

These words are all I have so I'll write them.

So, you need them just to get by.

 

[n.c.]

[whispered: "We're going into B-minor."]

 

CHORUS:

B      D             G            F#  A#   B  [etc.]

Dance, Dance!  We're falling apart to half time.

Dance, Dance!  And these are the lives you'd love to lead.

B       D              G           F#   A#  B        D           G F# A# B A#

Dance!  This is the way they'd love if they knew how misery loved me.

 

[n.c. - implied chords are:  B  D  A  G  D  A - 2x]

 

B                  G        D            A

You always fold just before you're found out.

B              C                  A   G          D                  A

Drink up, it's last call, last resort, but only the first mistake, and I...

 

PRE-CHORUS 2:

I'm two quarters and a heart down.

And I don't want to forget how your voice sounds.

These words are all I have so I'll write them.

So, you need them just to get by.

 


Half-time feel:

B         D        A       G           D

Why don't you show me the little bit of spine

A           [n.c.]

You've been saving for his mattress...love.

 

CHORUS:

 

BRIDGE:

B5/F#    B5/A   D/F#    G5

 

Quarter-time feel:

B5/F#                     B5/A

Why don't you show me the little bit of spine

             D/F#                     G5

You've been saving for his mattress  (mattress, mattress).

B5/F#              B5/A

I only want sympathy in the form of you,

D/F#                       G5  [end quarter-time feel]  F#5

Crawling into bed with me.

 

CHORUS:  [2x - end on A5]
