Dodie Clark - Pas De Deux Chords

C
Poppy's a dancer
Am
Just turned 16
           F
Stares at boys who wear glasses
            C
In look magazines

C
Here comes Tommy
        Am
With glasses and all
F
Flowers in hand and ambitious plans
     C
It's not hard to fall

        C
She's walking on rivers
    Am
he lifts her above
       F
she's full of belonging 
                C
and so full of love

       C
Things get a bit louder
          Am
Tommy's focused on plans
      F
His smile's replaced with an aggressive face
            C
But she'll still hold his hand.

           C
Now she's given up dancing
       Am
Tommy says she's too old
          F
He says focus on me but she disagrees
            C
While she does as she's told

          C
Are you walking on eggshells
         Am
And when push comes to shove
         F
Are you full of belonging 
                 C
But not full of love

C
Back to the studio
               Am
Where she was told not to go
         F
Feeling sick with guilt, the tension builds
        C
As she opens the door

     C
And what else would be there
        Am
But a trusting pair
     F                                    C
Of strong bodies, lacking in worries, performing a pas de deux

C
I am not right
     Am
Yes this is what's right
F
Souls, and hearts and minds intertwined
   C                    
I won't be defined by him anymore.

          C
She was walking on eggshells
          Am
And when push came to shove,
         F
She was full of belonging
                  C
But not full of love.

     C
So goodbye to tommy
     Am
And hello to sam,
     F
He doesn't wear glasses, but he loves how she dances
      C
And he'll hold her hand.

      C
Yes Poppy's a dancer,
      Am
with plans of her own
        F
you'll see her and partner 

performing a pas de deux
        C
in the old studio

         C
She's walking on rivers
    Am
He lifts her above
         F
they're full of belonging
                C
and so full of love.
