[Verse]
                                 Abmaj7
In a bar in San Francisco we are dancin' in the night,
        Bb6                                  Cm
And her ruby lips are sayin', "Love me right now!"
                                          Abmaj7
As she wrappes her arms around me, it all seemed to be alright,
        Bb6                      Ab          Bb       Cm
You are yesterday and gone while she's right here and now.

[Chorus]
Ab  Bb  Cm                                        Bb   Ab
And I'm dancin' and dancin' and givin' and livin' your mem'ry away,
        Bb                   Cm
Now I'm ready to say, "I am alive!"
Ab Bb  Cm                                      Bb   Ab
In the arms of a stranger my heart's out of danger, I am OK,
        Bb                F                    Cm
Let the music play, I am alive, come on, I am alive!

                                 Abmaj7
In a way I'm glad it's over even though I'm feelin' blue,
       Bb6                        Cm
It was time for me to move into a town.
                                        Abmaj7
I will learn to live without you, and I know I'll make it through,
           Bb6                          Ab    Bb      Cm
'Cause our love was just a circus, I'll never be your clown!

[Chorus]
Ab  Bb  Cm                                        Bb   Ab
And I'm dancin' and dancin' and givin' and livin' your mem'ry away,
        Bb                   Cm
Now I'm ready to say, "I am alive!"
Ab Bb  Cm                                      Bb   Ab
In the arms of a stranger my heart's out of danger, I am OK,
        Bb                F                    Cm
Let the music play, I am alive, come on, I am alive!
