Gm                 D#          A7 
Late at night in summer heat. Expensive car, empty street
          Gm7                 D#
There's a wire in my jacket. This is my trade
A7                       D
It only takes a moment, don't be afraid
       Cm                       F
I can hotwire an ignition like some kind of star
            Gm            Edim
I'm just a poor boy in a rich man's car
      Cm                     Dsus4        D
So I whisper to the engine, flick on the lights
       Gm
And we drive into the night

        Gm                           D# 
Oh the smell of the leather always excited my imagination
        A7                    Cm
And I picture myself in this different situation
       Gm                    D#
I'm a company director, two kids and a wife
A7                             Dsus4               D
I get the feeling that there's more to this one's life
              Cm                       F
There's some kind of complication, he tells her he's alone
            Gm                              Edim
Spends the night with his lover, there's a trace of her cologne
         Cm                             D
And the words of his mistress, as she whispers them so near
       D#             Cm
Start ringing in my ear

Chorus:
A#              D#        Cm             F           Gm
Please take me dancing tonight I've been all on my own
             D#         Cm                   F               Gm
You promised one day we could its, what you said on the phone
            D#          Cm          F            D#
I'm just a prisoner of love always hid from the light
                   F                      Gm
Take me dancing, please take me dancing tonight

I imagine his wife, she don't look nothing like a fool
She picks the kids up form some private school
She remembers what he told her, he was late and worked alone
But there's more than a suspicion in this lingering cologne
And the kid's just won't be quiet and she runs a traffic light
And she drives into the night

Chorus

Em                  C                      Am
So here am I in a stolen car at a traffic light
G                                    Gm   G# A# F6  Em
They go form red to green so I just drive into the night
