Dance Soterios Johnson Dance by Jonathan Coulton

Into: B, E
    
    E                                  B
A voice like honey, no one else could fill his shoes
     E                                            B
The time and the weather, the headlines and the local news
            C#m                      B
He lays it down with perfection and grace
         E                          A
Done by noon, he goes home to his place
           E             B            C#m     E
Where he sleeps and he waits for the night

  E                                           B
Just before midnight he gets up, gets out of bed
   E                                        B
A can of Red Bull, a tab of X to clear his head
               C#m                        B
He shoots his cuffs, now he’s headed downtown
              E                       A
Picks up one life, puts another one down
         E                  C
And his body hums and the music’s playing


Chorus:
  G              C  G      D 
Dance, Soterios Johnson, dance
        Bm                 C     D
It’s a cold world, nobody understands
       Em        Am          D
The feeling you can’t keep inside
 G            C   G    D
Go, Soterios Johnson, go
              Bm                      C        D
All the club kids are watching your glowstick glow
          Em          Am             D
With the light of a truth you can’t hide
          C           G              D             E
That the news is the news, but the dance goes on forever


 E                                         B
He shimmies his shoulders, undulates his slender hips
  E                            B
Arms akimbo, Jaggeresque, he pouts his lips
          C#m                      B
A circle forms, everybody comes 'round
         E                    A
Just to hear the incredible sound
        E                  D
Of a genius smashing expectations


[Chorus]

Bridge:
  E     B              G
He’s dancing, he’s a machine
     D                         Bb
Like no one, that they’ve ever seen
        F                    D       E
He’s flying, he’s living a dream_______

      E                                    B
The magic fades as the sun comes up, it’s time he goes
   E                                                 B
A hand on his shoulder, he turns around: it’s Teri Gross
              C#m                      B
He takes her hand, spins her body just so
              E                       A
He holds her close, he will never let go
               E             D
As the room explodes, they dance like angels


chorus:
 G               C   G     D
Dance, Soterios Johnson, dance
             Bm            C      D
It’s a cold world, nobody understands
       Em         Am         D
The feeling you can’t keep inside
 G             C  G    D 
Go, Soterios Johnson, go
              Bm                     C         D
All the club kids are watching your glowstick glow
          Em         Am              D
With the light of a truth you can’t hide
          C           G             D
That the news is the news, but the dance goes on
          C           G             D
That the news is the news, but the dance goes on

          C           G             D               E
That the news is the news, but the dance goes on forever
