Social Dance

C

[Verse]
C
There are some who don't even need to try
    Bb
Born with a warm heart, a twinkle in their eye
C
Glitter in their words, perfume in their breath
  Bb                                     (pause)
Souls of sunshine and lilac pastel skies
C
You will find no such shimmering in here
   Bb
Oh, there's a wish for some that's shoveled down by fear
C
Am I happy or just hopeful? Confident or boastful?
Bb                                     (pause)
Do people smile holding back a sneer?

[Chorus]
F                                 Fm                C
Sometimes I wish that I could be a kinder better me for all
F                                Fm                   C
Sometimes I wish that I could be someone who isn't me at all

[Verse]
C
So off you go perform your social dance
Bb
Outstretched opinions and a flexible stance
C
Pirouette for show, but never let them know
Bb
That really you're just begging for a chance

[Chorus]
F                                 Fm                C
Sometimes I wish that I could be a kinder better me for all
F                                Fm                   C
Sometimes I wish that I could be someone who isn't me at all

(Humming while picking C and Bb) (x2)

[Verse]
C
Can someone please tell me how it feels
  Bb
To say the perfect words, a model of appeal
C
Should I spill secrets inside or should I just hide?
Bb                           (pause)
I'll never be okay to reveal

[Chorus]
F                                 Fm                C
Sometimes I wish that I could be a kinder better me for all
F                                Fm                   C
Sometimes I wish that I could be someone who isn't me at all
