[Intro: ](A) (A) (A) (A)
It was about (A) five 'til five on Friday
We were all getting ready to go
And the boss man started screaming
and his veins began to (A7) show
He said (D) you and you come with me
'cause (A) you're gonna have to stay
My (E) heart was thumping I was jumping
(NC) I had to get away
(A) Some days you gotta dance
Live it up when you get the chance
(D7) 'Cause when the world doesn't make no sense
(A) And you're feeling just a little to tense
Gotta (E) loosen up those (D) chains and (A) dance
Well I was (A) talking with my baby
over a small glass of tea
He asked the loaded question
He said how do you feel about (A7) me
My mind was (D) racin' I was pacin'
but the (A) words just wouldn't come
And there was (E) only one thing left to do
I feel it comin' on
(A) Some days you gotta dance
Live it up when you get the chance
(D7) 'Cause when the world doesn't make no sense
(A) And you're feeling just a little to tense
Gotta (E) loosen up those (D) chains and (A) dance
(A) Some days you gotta dance
Live it up when you get the chance
(D7) 'Cause when the world doesn't make no sense
(A) And you're feeling just a little to tense
Gotta (E) loosen up those (D) chains and (A) dance
Gotta (E) loosen up those (D) chains and (A) dance
Come on and (E) loosen up those (D) chains and (A) dance
