[Intro] (Riff)
| C C C/D C/E C | F | C C C/D C/E C | F | C C/D C/E C | F | C C/D C/E C |
[Verse 1]
|F |C C/D C/E C |
... Baby wants to dance
|F |C C/D C/E C |
.. Past the flat-footed charterhouse boys
|F |C C/D C/E C |
... From towns where the mothers can't stand
|F |C C/D C/E C |
.. Mmm, the sight of each other
[Verse 2]
|F |C C/D C/E C |
... Baby wants to last
|F |C C/D C/E C |
.. In the hearts of the wild and free
|F |C C/D C/E C |
... She knows that time takes all of us
|F |C C/D C/E C | F |
.. Through every long, hot, heavy summer
[Chorus]
|Am G |F
And all of them, they talk of national security
|Am G |F
Over garden fences made to buff the bastard breeze
|C |F | C |
Of chance encounters
[Verse 3]
|F |C C/D C/E C |
... Baby wants to dance
|F |C C/D C/E C |
.. Past the Tuesday morning supermarket crowd
|F |C C/D C/E C
... She knows we'll all sleep through the days
|F |C C/D C/E C |
And be two-step drip fed our laughter
[Verse 4]
|F |C C/D C/E C |
... Says she wants to last
|F |C C/D C/E C |
.. Mmm, last how you want to
|F |C C/D C/E C |
... She's a light in the young boy's eyes
|F |C C/D C/E C | F |
.. Through every long, hot, heavy summer
[Chorus]
|Am G |F
And all of them, they talk of national security
|Am G |F
Over garden fences made to buff the bastard breeze
|Am G |F
Yeah, all of them, shufflin' down that lonely street
|C C/D C/E C |
One last gasp
|F |C C/D C/E C | F |
.. Against a long, hot, heavy summer
