E B7 E B7

[Verse 1]
         E                                                B7
When she asked me to dance I said, "No no I have two left feet."
                                                 E
And the she took my hand and whispered a song so sweet
            A                                              E      C#m
And she said, "Hold me as close as you can 'til my bodies on fire."
            E                     B7           E      B7 E B7
It's just a vertical expression of horizontal desire.

[Verse 2]
        E                                         B7
So we moved like water bein' poured over polished steel
                                                 E
And I really can't translate the way she made me feel
        A                                         E      C#m
And the music played on and the mercury just went higher
            E                     B7           E      B7 E B7
It's just a vertical expression of horizontal desire.

[Bridge]
           A                                                   E
We did the samba, the mambo , the tango, the two-step while we romanced
            A                                             B            B7
And when the music got fast we just held to each other and slow danced.

[Instrumental]
E  E  B7  B7
B7  B7  E  E
A  A  E  C#m
E  B7  E  B7  E  B7

[Verse 3]
       E                                                B7
I took nothing for granted but I wished I could stay all night
                                                   E
And as we walked in to her place she reached out to dim the light
           A                                                  E      C#m
She said, "Dance with me darlin' 'til the moon and the stars retire."
            E                     B7           E      B7
It's just a vertical expression of horizontal desire.
            E                     B7           E
It's just a vertical expression of horizontal desire.
