[Verse 1]
N.C. G#
Trying so hard to keep up with the Joneses
N.C. G#
Running a rat race won by our noses
N.C. G#
Always put one foot in front of the other
N.C. G# F#5 F5
And dance to the beat of the decadent drummer
[Pre-Chorus]
D# F
Just buy a brand new pair of Fred Astaire shoes
C# C#5 C5 A#5
Climbing to the top, ne - ver gonna stop
D# C# G# C#
It's the same old song and one two three and dec - a - dance
[Chorus]

It's hard to stop once the music gets started
N.C. G#
'til the soles of your feet harden up like your heart did
F#5 F5 F#5 F5 F#5 F5 F#5 B5 G#
Stepping in line with the sign of the ti - mer
