Intro
BmDGA
(Between the Bm and D he hits a C# on the A string)
Bm
Backstage with the modern dancers
DG
She was stretching her arms
ABm
configuring her body
DG
while they were breathing, they were shouting
ABm
she was concentrating on her breathing
D
and didn't seem to mind
G
as i sat there on the couch
ABm
and tuned my guitar
DG
and played a few chords
A
like roses growing their thorns
Bm
getting ready to perform
DG
with bare feet and painted faces
ABm
they took their places
DG
on shivering legs beneath colourful gowns
AD
nnnna
DA
nnnna
AD
oooh ooooh
DA
nnnna
ABm
ooooh oooh
BmG
and out there on the wooden floors
ABm
the sweat form their pores
G
I'm writing a list
ABm
of songs I can sing by myself
Bm
backstage with the modern dancers
DGA
who feel it, like i feel it
Bm
like i feel it feel if feel it
Bm
backstage with the modern dancers
DG
getting ready to go on
ABm
she showed me her spin
DGA
with a beauty lit from within
BmD
and all of these things
GA
i don't think they should be released
