"Can We Dance?"
Capo on 4th fret
F G
I talk a lot of (shh) when I'm drinking, baby,

Em Am
But they're the only friends that I have.

That's all I have to say so, baby, can we dance?

Here we go again, another drink I'm caving in,
Em Am

F
You know that I mean well,

My hands were meant for somewhere else.

Your eyes are doing naughty butterflies

Oh, oh, one more drink and I should go,

Oh, oh, but maybe she might like me though.

Just can't let her slip away.

I was nearly in, but then came the pushy friend,

My heart's not made for someone else.

So save me here 'cause I can barely stand.

It just can lead back to her door.

I've been a bad, bad boy

Whispering rude things in her ear,

Her mind and bring me back to her place.
