Intro: Em  C  G  D 

Em                  C              G               D 
All day long she's waiting for the night to ask her out 
   Em              C          G            D 
To be somebodies dancer to get lost inside a crowd 
    Em                 C                G           D 
But there's no need to talk because the music is so loud 
       Em              C           G               D 
Till a taxi drives her back into a morning full of doubts 



        Em 
You can feel like part of something 
           C 
If you're part of the scene 
         G 
You can make your life so pretty 
        D 
And a little Ice and Gin 
Em                           C 
Wash off the make up and prepare the aspirin 
        G 
You can get out of this party dress 
    D                         Em 
But you can't get out of this skin 



C G D 


    Em                  C              G               D 
His home is where his heart is, at the parties that he roams 
    Em               C                          G            D 
He tells himself he can't be lonely, cause he's never on his own 
    Em                 C                      G                   D 
But all the friends he makes at night, in the morning they're all gone 
          Em                C                 G                D 
And he's left with his four walls, his aching head, his silent phone 


 
        Em 
You can feel like part of something 
           C 
If you're part of the scene 
         G 
You can make your life so pretty 
        D 
And a little Ice and Gin 
Em                           C 
Wash off the make up and prepare the aspirin 
        G 
You can get out of this party dress 
    D                         Em 
But you can't get out of this skin
