We Came To Dance Chords

(ver. 2)
The Gaslight Anthem
[Intro]

F#m A E D (x2)


[Verse]

D           F#m                 A
We are the last of the jukebox Romeos,
          E                            D
We are romantics by the light of the fourway
                    F#m                  A
Came to sing out a chorus, reinvent the good times
            E              D
Bringin it all back home again


[Chorus]

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


[Interlude]

F#m A E D


[Verse]

D            F#m   
And in this unstable arena
           A
Of what's left or become of my America
     E                                             D
I'm asking this dance, so come take my hand, come on

D            F#m   
And in this unstable arena
           A
Of what's left or become of my America
     E                                             D
I'm asking this dance, so come take my hand, come on


[Chorus]

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


[Bridge]

D          F#m                 A
And if they...end it all by the end of tonight
        E                              D
If the big bomb drops down over this quiet Edison sky
          F#m               
We'll blow... one last kiss
A 
to all the beautiful nights like this
     E                    D
Under the central Jersey sky


[Chorus]

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


[Outro]

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