SONG: Dance With Me
ARTIST: The Sounds
ALBUM: Living in America
YEAR: 2002
TRACK: 1
TUNING: GDAE (standard)
The bass is very hard to hear in this song and plays primarily a background role.
During the verse, you can periodically hear a funky slap lick, but I think that comes
from the guitar, not the bass. Whatever; here's the notes, play them as you wish.

Funny how we've seem to made it
Funny how we can even walk up straight
Last night, you sat home waiting
And I got home much too late
Yeah, too late

And so what if we loose our minds?
And so what if it doesn't make much sense?
At least we know we're lazy
At least we know how to play
We're so great

Well, come on
Well, come on!
Come get up and dance with me, yeah
Well, no more
Well, no more!
Blue days and lonely years

And I'm afraid I need my baby
I'm afraid he doesn't know it yet
Someday I will tell him, maybe
It's been like this since I don't know when
But it's great

Blue days for you, my dear
I've always been told
You will never grow old
You live your life too fast
I don't need to rest
I'm not old and tired
But I've been through fire
And I've seen enough
And I might never be the --
