Stolen Car Take Me Dancing chords by Sting

Gm
Gm        Eb/G     A7/G
Late at night in summer heat. Expensive car, empty street
     Gm7        Eb
There's a wire in my jacket. This is my trade
A7           D
It only takes a moment, don't be afraid
   Cm            F
I can hotwire an ignition like some kind of star
      Gm      Edim
I'm just a poor boy in a rich man's car
   Cm           Dsus4    D
So I whisper to the engine, flick on the lights
    Gm
And we drive into the night

    Gm             Eb/G
Oh the smell of the leather always excited my imagination
   A7/G          Cm
And I picture myself in this different situation
   Gm          Eb
I'm a company director, two kids and a wife
A7               Dsus4       D
I get the feeling that there's more to this one's life
       Cm            F
There's some kind of complication, he tells her he's alone
      Gm               Edim
Spends the night with his lover, there's a trace of her cologne
    Cm              D
And the words of his mistress, as she whispers them so near
   Eb           Cm
Start ringing in my ear

Bb       Eb     Cm       F       Gm
Please take me dancing tonight I've been all on my own
       Eb     Cm         F         Gm
You promised one day we could its, what you said on the phone
      Eb      Cm     F      Eb
I'm just a prisoner of love always hid from the light
         F           Gm
Take me dancing, please take me dancing tonight

Gm Gm

Gm                 Eb
I imagine his wife, she don't look nothing like a fool
A7               Dsus4  D
She picks the kids up form some private school
  Cm                 F
She remembers what he told her, he was late and worked alone
      Gm              Edim
But there's more than a suspicion in this lingering cologne
    Cm                D
And the kid's just won't be quiet and she runs a traffic light
    Bb
And she [start chorus] drives into the night


Bb       Eb     Cm       F       Gm
Please take me dancing tonight I've been all on my own
       Eb     Cm         F         Gm
You promised one day we could its, what you said on the phone
      Eb      Cm     F      Eb
I'm just a prisoner of love always hid from the light
         F           Em
Take me dancing, please take me dancing tonight

Em        C            Am
So here am I in a stolen car at a traffic light
G                  Gm  Ab Bb F6 Em
They go form red to green so I just drive in-to the night

        C     Am     D
Please take me dancing tonight I've been all on my own
Em      C      Am         D
You promised one day we could it's what you said on the phone
Em     C      Am     D      C
I'm just a prisoner of love always hid from the light
         D           Em
Take me dancing, please take me dancing tonight

        C     Am     D
Please take me dancing tonight I've been all on my own
Em      C      Am         D
You promised one day we could it's what you said on the phone
Em     C      Am     D      C
I'm just a prisoner of love always hid from the light
         D           Em
Take me dancing, please take me dancing tonight
