Verse:

Eb              Fm
 On the bank of the Tennessee River
Ab          Bb
 In a small Kentucky town
Cm             Abmaj7     Ab
 I drew my first breath one cold November morning
  Ebm               Gm
And before my feet even touched the ground
     Ebm               Gm
With the doctors and the nurses gathered 'round
       Cm         Cm
I started to dance, I started to dance

Instrumental:
Cm

Eb               Fm
 A little boy full of wide-eyed wonder
Ab          Bb
 Footloose and fancy free
Abmaj7            Ab
 But it would happen, as it does for every dancer
     Eb              Gm
That I'd stumble on a truth I couldn't see

  Eb               Gm
And find a longing deep inside of me, it said


Chorus:
Cm
I am the heart, I need the heartbeat
Ab
I am the eyes, I need the sight
F           Ab
 I realize that I am just a body
 Bb
I need the life

Cm
I move my feet, I go through the motions
Ab
But who'll give purpose to chance
F
 I am the dancer
   Ab    Bb       Cm
I need the Lord of the dance


Verse:
Eb               Fm
 The world beneath us spins in circles
     Ab               Bb
And this life makes us twist and turn and sway
Abmaj7             Ab
 But we were made for-more-than rhythm with no reason
    Eb                Gm
By the one who moves with passion and with grace
    Eb             Gm
As He dances over all that He has made


Chorus:
Cm
I am the heart, I need the heartbeat
Ab
I am the eyes, I need the sight
F           Ab
 I realize that I am just a body
 Bb
I need the life

Cm
I move my feet, I go through the motions
Ab
But who'll give purpose to chance
F
 I am the dancer
   Ab    Bb      Cm
He is the Lord of the dance
 Bb       Cm
Lord of the dance
 Bb       Cm
Lord of the dance

 I will fall down on my knees and I will pray


Chorus:

I am the heart, I need the heartbeat

I am the eyes, I need the sight

 I realize that I am just a body

I need the life

I move my feet, I go through the motions
Ab
But who'll give purpose to chance
F
 I am the dancer
   Ab    Bb       Cm
I need the Lord of the dance
