G#                    C
Dan had very long limbs
From leading day to day
Hanging onto a cliff
That stretched him everyday
And when she'd ask to hold hands
He would smile and
Let one of his hands go
His whole life in one hand
His whole life

And when he'd say goodnight and
Leave her doorstep
He'd use his last strength
To wave back
And once back in his room
Once back in his room
He'd return his waving hand
Back to its cliff
G#                             G
He liked her more than life itself
G#      G
I'm sure

 G#                         C
'Cause Dan had never danced
    G#             C
outside of his room
      G#                  C
When no one was home and he would
G#                    C
start to hear the door
     G#
So when he moved with you
     G        G#       G
And felt his body let go
    G#
Of course you couldn't know
 G      G#
It was you and you alone
      G       G#                      G
That he had shown his bedroom dancer to

Shown his bedroom dancer to
Shown his bedroom dancer to
Shown his bedroom dancer to
Shown his bedroom dancer to
Shown his bedroom dancer to

              Fm                                   G  G#
And he would never tell you that it was his first time
