Intro: E
E
I was reminiscing just the other day
While having coffee all alone and Lord it took me away
A
Back to a first-glance feeling on New York time
Back when you fit in my poems like a perfect rhyme
E
Took off fast through the green light go
Hey skip the conversation and you already know
C#m
I left a note on the door with a joke we'd made
A
And that was the first day
B C#m A
And darling it was good
B C#m A
Never looking down
B C#m A
And right there where we stood
E A
Was holy ground
E
Spinning like a girl in a brand new dress
We had this big wide city all to ourselves
A
We blocked the noise with the sound of I need you
And for the first time I had something to lose
E
Well I guess we fell apart in the usual way
And the story's got dust on every page
C#m
Sometimes I wonder how you think about it now
A
And I see your face in every crowd
B C#m A
And darling it was good
B C#m A
Never looking down
B C#m A
And right there where we stood
E A C#m A
Was holy ground
E A
Tonight I'm gonna dance for all that we've been through
But I don't wanna dance if I'm not dancing with you
E A
Tonight I'm gonna dance like you were in this room
B
But I don't wanna dance if I'm not dancing with you
C#m A
It was good
B C#m A
Never looking down
B C#m A
And right there where we stood
E A C#m A
Was holy ground
E A C#m
Tonight I'm gonna dance for all that we've been through
A
But I don't wanna dance if I'm not dancing with you
E A C#m
Tonight I'm gonna dance like you were in this room
A
But I don't wanna dance if I'm not dancing with you
