[Intro] (Riff)
| C C C/D C/E C | F | C C C/D C/E C | F | C C/D C/E C | F | C C/D C/E C |

[Verse 1]
|F                |C    C/D C/E C |
 ... Baby wants to dance
|F                      |C            C/D C/E C |
 .. Past the flat-footed charterhouse boys
|F                       |C             C/D C/E C |
 ... From towns where the mothers can't stand
|F                        |C     C/D C/E C |
 .. Mmm, the sight of each other

[Verse 2]
|F                |C   C/D C/E C |
 ... Baby wants to last
|F                      |C        C/D C/E C |
 .. In the hearts of the wild and free
|F                 |C              C/D C/E C |
 ... She knows that time takes all of us
|F                                |C      C/D C/E C | F |
 .. Through every long, hot, heavy summer

[Chorus]
   |Am                G                 |F
And all of them, they talk of national security
    |Am            G               |F
Over garden fences made to buff the bastard breeze
  |C       |F        | C |
Of chance encounters

[Verse 3]
|F                |C    C/D C/E C |
 ... Baby wants to dance
|F                          |C       C/D C/E  C |
 .. Past the Tuesday morning supermarket crowd
|F                  |C                 C/D C/E C
 ... She knows we'll all sleep through the days
       |F                    |C       C/D C/E C |
 And be two-step drip fed our laughter

[Verse 4]
|F                    |C    C/D C/E C |
 ... Says she wants to last
|F                   |C       C/D C/E C |
 .. Mmm, last how you want to
|F                       |C           C/D C/E C |
 ... She's a light in the young boy's eyes
|F                                |C      C/D C/E C | F |
 .. Through every long, hot, heavy summer

[Chorus]
   |Am                G                 |F
And all of them, they talk of national security
    |Am            G               |F
Over garden fences made to buff the bastard breeze
     |Am           G                  |F
Yeah, all of them, shufflin' down that lonely street
   |C         C/D C/E C |
One last gasp
|F                            |C     C/D C/E C | F |
 .. Against a long, hot, heavy summer
