[Bm][A][D]

[Verse 1]
When your [D]daddy plays gui[F#m]tar,
You [G]dance without a [D]smile.
Kid you may not [Bm]have great rhythm,
But [Em]you sure [E]got sty[A]le.
Just [D]four years old and still it seems,
You've [G]got it figured [D]out.
When daddy sings, and [Bm]then you dance,
The [Em]people [A]clap and shout.
[D]

[Verse 2]
Cuz, you're my dancin' [F#m]boy,
And it's so [C#]scary [G]how you tru[Eb]st me.[E]
[D]Just one look from [Bm]you,
And I come [Em]pouri[E]ng o[Em]ut like w[A]ine.
[D]Dancin' [F#m]boy,
I'm [G]sure by now that [D]you must [E]see,
You're [D]dancin' means
[A]much [Bm]more to me,
Than [G]any [A]dream of [D]mine.

[Verse 3]
[D]
Yes, I'm so proud when
you are [F#m]with me,
That my [G]heart digs in my [D]throat.
And when you stop to [Bm]strut your stuff,
My [Em]eyes go all [Eb]afloat.[A]
And [D]when I have to leave you home
As [G]sometimes it must [D]be.
I feel that with my [Bm]leaving
I leave [G]far too [A]much of me.
[D]

[Verse 4]
Yes, you're my dancin' [F#m]boy,
And [G]it's scary how you [D]trust [E]me.
[D]Just one look from [Bm]you,
And I come [Em]pouring out like [A]wine.
You're my [D]dancin' [F#m]boy,
I'm [G]sure by now that [D]you must [Em]see,
[E]You're dan[D]cin' means
[A]much [Bm]more to me,
Than [G]any [A]dream of mine.

[Verse 5]
You know [E]the time will come
my dan[G#m]cin' boy
When you're [A]dancin' days [E]are done,
And when daddy and his [C#m]dancin' boy
Will have [F#]dwindled down to [B]one.
You [Bm]know the world

[Verse 6]
[E]
will've taught you other steps
To [A]match [E]the march of time,
So you'll have to keep our
dan[C#m]cin' days
[A]Dancin' [B]in [E]your mind.

[Verse 7]
Yes, do your [E]dancin', [G#m]boy,
Cuz [Gm]it's [G#m]so sca[A]ry
how you [F#m]trust [F#]me.
[E]Just one look from [C#m]you,
And I come [F#]pouring out like [B]wine.
Do your [E]dancin', [G#m]boy.
I'm [A]sure by now that you
must [F#]see
You're [E]dancin' means
[B]much [C#m]more to me,
Than [A]any [B]dream of mine.
