[Verse 1]
N.C. F#
Trying so hard to keep up with the Joneses
N.C. F#
Running a rat race won by our noses
N.C. F#
Always put one foot in front of the other
N.C. F# E5 D#5
And dance to the beat of the decadent drummer
[Pre-Chorus]
C# D#
Just buy a brand new pair of Fred Astaire shoes
B B5 A#5 G#5
Climbing to the top, ne - ver gonna stop
C# B F# B
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. F#
'til the soles of your feet harden up like your heart did
E5 D#5 E5 D#5 E5 D#5 E5 A5 F#
Stepping in line with the sign of the ti - mer
