  G                            D                 
 Walking through the crowd the village is aglow 
    C 
 Kaleidoscope of loud heartbeats under coats

 Everybody here wants something more

 Searching for a sound that they hadn’t heard before

 Say, It’s a new soundtrack 
                        C             
 I could dance to the beat, beat,  
    Em                          D                
 forever more the lights are so bright

 When we first dropped our bags on apartment floors 
  C 
 Took our broken hearts, and put them in the drawer 
 G                   D 
 Everybody here was someone else before 
         C 
 And you want who you want 
   
 Boys and boys, girls and girls

 I could dance to the beat, beat,

 G                                 D      
 Like any great love, it keeps you guessing 
       C 
 Like any real love, it’s ever changing 
      Em                           D 
 Like any true love, it drives you crazy 
              C 
 But you wouldn’t change anything, anything, anything
