View chords used in this chart
D#m C#
When I passed you in the doorway
B F#
You took me with a glance
D#m C#
I should have took that last bus home
B F#
But I asked you for a dance
D#m C#
Now we go steady to the pictures
B F#
I always get chocolate stains on my pants
D#m C#
My father he?s going crazy
B F#
Say?s I?m living in a trance
D#m C#
But I?m dancing in the moonlight
B F#
It?s caught me in it?s spotlight It?s alright, alright
D#m C#
Dancing in the moonlight
B F#
On the long hot summer night
D#m C#
It?s three o?clock in the morning
And I?m on the streets again
D#m C#
I disobeyed another warning
B F#
I should have been in by ten
D#m C#
Now I won?t get out until sunday
B F#
I?ll have to say I stayed with friends
D#m C#
But it?s a habit worth forming
B F#
If it means to justify the end
