C              F
Make me dance, I want to surrender
C             G               C F C G
Your familiar arms, I remember
C            F
We've been going transcontinental
C               G
Got no car, we just take a rental

Chorus:
F                 C
But we don't have the money
Dm                              Am
(money makes the wheels on the world go round)
F            C
Forget about it, honey

Make me dance, I want to surrender
Your familiar arms I remember
Everybody’s talking about you
Every word’s a whisper without you

Chorus:
But we don’t have the money
Money makes the wheels and the world go round
Forget about it, honey
Trouble’s never far away when you’re around
Cause we don’t have the money
Money makes the wheels and the world go round
Forget about it, honey

Am
I didn't see it coming
                           E7
I'm just not in the running

C                       C+
Take me on a train 'cos I'm not flying
C6                       C7
I can see the world from a different side
F                    Fm
Read about us in the morning papers
Dm                G7
Will we make it? Will we make it alive?

F                C
I didn't see it coming
Dm7              Am
Make me dance I want to surrender
F                    C
I'm just not in the running
Dm               E7
Make me dance I want to surrender

F                    C
And we don't need a lifetime
Dm7              Am
Make me dance I want to surrender
F                    C
We're following the right line
Dm                         E7
Make me dance I want to surrender
