[Bm] [D]
[A]
[Bm] [D]
Maybe I [A] should go and live in Amsterdam in a side street near a big canal.
[Bm] Spend my evenings in the Van Gogh [D] Museum.
[Dm] What a dream Van Gogh Museum.
Maybe [A] it's time to see Tangiers.
A different lifestyle, some different [Bm] fears, and maybe I should be in Edinburgh.
[D] In a kilt in Edinburgh, [A] doing a modern dance.
Doing a modern [D]
dance.
[Dm] [D] Or maybe I should get a farm in southern France, where the winds are wispy and the villages dance.
And you and I, we sleep beneath the moon.
Moon in June and [A] sleep till noon.
Maybe you and I could fall in love.
Regain the spirit that we once [Bm] had.
You let me hold you and touch the night.
That shines so [Dm] bright, so bright with fright.
Doing a modern [A] dance.
Doing a [D] modern dance.
[Dm] [A] Maybe I could go to Yucatan, where women are women, man's man.
[D] Ah, no one's confused, never loses place [Dm] with their place in the human [A] race.
Maybe I'm not cut out for city life.
The smell of exhaust, the smell of strife.
[Bm] Maybe you don't want to be a wife.
[D] It's not a life being a wife.
[Dm] [E] Doing a modern [A] dance.
Doing a modern [D] dance.
[Dm]
So, [A] maybe I should go to Tanganyik, where the rivers run down mountains tall and steep.
[Bm] Or go to India to study chants [D] and lose romance to a mantras dance.
I need a guru.
I need some law.
Explain to me the things we [A] saw.
[Bm] Why it always comes to this.
[D] It's all downhill after the first kiss.
[A] Maybe I should move to Rotterdam.
Maybe move to Amsterdam.
[Bm] I should move to Ireland, Italy, Spain, [D] Afghanistan, where there is [B] no rain.
Or maybe [A] I should just learn a modern dance.
Where roles are shifting.
A modern dance.
[Bm] You never touch.
You don't know who you're [D] with.
This week, this month, [Dm] this time of year.
[D] This week, this month, [Dm] this time of year.
Doing a [A] modern dance.
You don't know who you're with.
Modern [D] dance.
[Dm] I should move to Pakistan.
Go to [A] Afghanistan.
Dance.
You don't know who you're with.
Dance.
You don't know who you're with.
Modern [D]
dance.
[Dm] And maybe you don't want to [A] be a wife.
It's not a life being a wife.
Doing a modern [D] dance.
[Dm] You never touch.
You don't [A] know who you're with.
Dance.
Modern dance.
Roles are [D] shifting.
Dance.
[Dm] You never touch.
You don't know [A] who you're with.
Dance.
Modern dance.
[D]
Maybe you don't want to be a [Dm] wife.
