Gene Kelly

G D C G D/F# There’s a boy who sits alone among a thousand little dreams C/E D/F# Wants the break the hearts of hundreds, growing drunk on fevered screams G D/F# He’s running from a shadow that has stalked him all his life C/E D/F# G It’s the darkness that is lurking when you feel like you’re dropping out of sight D C wo-o-oah G D/F# Well he’s torn himself to pieces and each night he feels the itch C D/F# To grab the needle, thread and scalpel, He’ll gather, slice and stich G D/F# And he’ll build a brand new person where the current person sits C D/F# Until he’s nothing but a patchwork of other people’s greatest hits Am G/B And every lost evening while time ticks ever on C D He sings for his supper, goes home to write songs Am Bm Waits for some signal, waits for some break C D To make him feel better he’ll say G I wanna dance like Gene Kelly D Dress like Elton John C Give those kids who get me a star to wish upon D Em Tell the world I’m ready D To write their favourite song C So folks who never met me will miss me when I’m gone G D C Woah Woah Woah G D/F# But these dreams don’t keep the lights on, they don’t pay for bread and cheese C/E There’s no free ticket for the rockstar with the most convincing pleas G D/F# And though ambition is a virtue, and desire can breed a king C/E There’s no reaction without action, there’s no life if you don’t sing Am G/B So kiss goodbye to comfort, say hello to fun C D Grab your battered guitar, face the dark and run Am Bm Halt the shadows creeping, turn up every dial C D And watch the people smile when you say G I wanna dance like Gene Kelly D Dress like Elton John C Give those kids who get me a star to wish upon D Em Tell the world I’m ready D To write their favourite song C So folks who never met me will miss me when I’m gone G D C I wanna dance (I wanna dance dance dance like Gene Kelly) G D C I wanna dance (I wanna dance dance dance like Gene Kelly) Woah Yeah G D C D Em D C G N.C.
