[Verse 1]
N.C. C#
Trying so hard to keep up with the Joneses
N.C. C#
Running a rat race won by our noses
N.C. C#
Always put one foot in front of the other
N.C. C# B5 A#5
And dance to the beat of the decadent drummer
[Pre-Chorus]
G# A#
Just buy a brand new pair of Fred Astaire shoes
F# F#5 F5 D#5
Climbing to the top, ne - ver gonna stop
G# F# C# F#
It's the same old song and one two three and dec - a - dance
[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
N.C. C#
It's hard to stop once the music gets started
N.C. C#
'til the soles of your feet harden up like your heart did
B5 A#5 B5 A#5 B5 A#5 B5 E5 C#
Stepping in line with the sign of the ti - mer

Seduced by the tune of the decadent dancer
