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

C7(no3)                                        Ab  Bb
 And while the music of His love and mercy plays
C7(no3)                                    Ab  Eb
 I will fall down on my knees and I will pray


Chorus:
Cm
I am the heart, I need the heartbeat

 I realize that I am just a body

I need the life
