Tom:
E
It was about five 'til five on Friday We were all getting ready to go
(E)
And the boss man started screaming And his veins began to show
A E
He said you and you come with me 'Cause you're gonna have to stay
B7 A A
My heart was thumping I was jumping I had to get away
CHORUS:
E
Some days you gotta dance Live it up when you get the chance
A
'Cause when the world don't make no sense
E
And you're feeling just a little too tense
B7 A E
Gotta loosen up those chains and dance
E
Well I was talking with my baby Over a small glass of tea
(E)
He asked the loaded question He said how do you feel about me
A E
My mind was racin' I was pacin' But the words just wouldn't come
B A A
And there was only one thing left to do I feel it comin' on
( Repeat chorus )
