A
Maybe I should go and live in Amsterdam 
In a side street near a big can*l
Bm
Spend my evenings in the Van Gogh Museum
D
What a dream, Van Gogh Museum

A
Maybe its time to see Tangiers
Bm
A different lifestyle, some different fears
D
Or maybe I should be in Edinburgh
N.C.
In a kilt in Edinburgh

               A      Bm               D   Dm
Doin' a modern dance, doin' a modern dance

A
Or maybe I should get a farm in southern France
where the winds are wispy and the villagers dance
Bm
You and I we'd sleep beneath a moon
D
Moon in June and sleep till noon

A
And maybe you and I could fall in love
Regain the spirit that we once had
Bm
You'd let me hold you and touch the night
D
That shines so bright, so bright with fright

                A      Bm              D   Dm
Doin' a modern dance, doin' a modern dance

A
sh*t, maybe I could go to Yucatan
Where women are women, a man's a man
Bm
No one's confused, ever loses place
D
With their place in the human race

A
Maybe I'm not cut out for city life
Bm
The smell of exhaust, the smell of strife
D
Maybe you don't wanna be a wife
N.C.
It's not a life being a wife

                A      Bm            D     Dm
Doin' a modern dance, doin' a modern dance


A
So maybe I should go to Tanganyika
Where the rivers run, down mountains tall and steep
Bm
Or go to India to study chants
D
And lose romance do a mantra's dance

A
I need a guru, I need some law
Bm
Explain to me the things we saw
D
Why it always comes to this
N.C.
It's all downhill after the first kiss

A
Maybe I should move to Rotterdam
Maybe move to Amsterdam
Bm  
I should move to Ireland, Italy, Spain
D
Afghanistan where there is no rain

A
Or maybe I should just learn a modern dance
Bm
Where roles are shifting the modern dance
D
You never touch you don't know who you're with
D
This week, this month, this time of year
D                                    Dm
This week, this month, this time of year
                 A   Bm D Dm
Doin' a modern dance

A
You don't know who you're with modern dance
Bm
I should move to Pakistan, go to Afghanistan
D
Dance, you don't know who you're with
Dance, you don't know who you're with
          Dm
Modern dance

A
And maybe you don't wanna be a wife
Bm                   D     Dm
It's not life being a wife
                  A  Bm D Dm
Doin' a modern dance

A
You never touch you don't know who you're with
Bm
Dance, modern dance
D                           Dm
The roles are shifting dance'
A
You never touch you don't know who you're with
Bm
Dance, modern dance
D
Naybe you don't wanna be a wife
                             Dm
It's not a life being a wife
