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.
