  			D#m                           C# 
When I passed you in the doorway 
B                         F# 
You took me with a glance 
 
D#m                           C# 
I should have took that last bus home 
B                         F# 
But I asked you for a dance 
D#m                           C# 
Now we go steady to the pictures 
B                         F# 
I always get chocolate stains on my pants 
D#m                           C# 
My father he?s going crazy 
B                         F# 
Say?s I?m living in a trance 
 
D#m                           C# 
But I?m dancing in the moonlight 
B                                    F# 
It?s caught me in it?s spotlight It?s alright, alright 
 
D#m                           C# 
Dancing in the moonlight 
B                                 F# 
On the long hot summer night 
 
D#m                           C# 
It?s three o?clock in the morning 
And I?m on the streets again 
 
D#m                           C# 
I disobeyed another warning 
B                                F# 
I should have been in by ten 
 
D#m                           C# 
Now I won?t get out until sunday 
B                                    F# 
I?ll have to say I stayed with friends 
D#m                           C# 
But it?s a habit worth forming 
B                         F# 
If it means to justify the end
