(ver. 1)
The Gaslight Anthem
We Came To Dance- The Gaslight Anthem

Intro: 

Verse 1:
Am                       F
We are the last of the jukebox Romeos, 
            G                             F
We are romantics by the light of the full moon
                       Am                 F
Came to sing out a chorus, reinvent the good times
             G              F
Bring'in it all back home again

[Chorus:]
      Am
Honey we came to dance with the girls with the stars in their eyes
        F
Do the jump back jack stop and slide to the right
G                                                F
Never break their hearts, never make 'em cry, come on
Am
Strike up the band, play a song that everybody knows
 F
If I'm not your kind then don't tell a soul
G                                               F
I'm not the one who hates being alone, so come on

Interlude: Am F G F

Verse 2:
Am 
And in the sun-stabled arena
F
Of what's left or become of my America
G                                             F
I'm asking this dance, so come take my hand, come on
Am 
And in the sun-stabled arena
F
Of what's left or become of my America
G                                             F
I'm asking this dance, so come take my hand, come on

Chorus:
      Am
Honey we came to dance with the girls with the stars in their eyes
        F
Do the jump back jack stop and slide to the right
G                                                F
Never break their hearts, never make 'em cry, come on
Am
Strike up the band, play a song that everybody knows
 F
If I'm not your kind then don't tell a soul
G                                               F
I'm not the one who hates being alone, so come on 

Bridge: 
(One strum- *)

Am*                      F*    
And if they end it all by the end of tonight
G*                                    F
If the big bomb drops down over this quiet Edison sky
Am                       F
We'll blow one last kiss to all the beautiful nights like this
G (Gsus4 hammer)       F
Under the central Jersey sky

Chorus:
      Am (Staccato)
Honey we came to dance with the girls with the stars in their eyes
        F (Staccato)
Do the jump back jack stop and slide to the right
G(Staccato)                                       F (Staccato)
Never break their hearts, never make 'em cry, come on
Am
Strike up the band, play a song that everybody knows
 F
If I'm not your kind then don't tell a soul
G                                               F
I'm not the one who hates being alone, so come on 

Outro:
Am
'Cause you ain't never had a night on the town
F
Like I could show you such a night on the town
G
And you ain't never had a song you could sing
           F
Well it's a deep, dark night, and I hear you, I've been there
Am
But these are the songs that we sing
          F
Whoa-oh, these are the songs that we sing
                     G        G
You've never seen a two step (two-step)
                                 F
Like when you seen it from your mama's house
                                           Am
When the kids flash like lightning to the very best dancers around
                     F
We learned from the very best dancers around
                      G
We learned from the very best dancers in town
              F
Come take my hand
                        F
'Cause mama we came to dance
