Pas De Deux Chords

Poppy's a dancer
C         C      F
Just turned 16
          C             C       G     F
Stares at boys who wear glasses
   C        C      F
In look magazines
 
C          C      F
Here comes Tommy
     C          C       F
With glasses and all
C          C        G         F
Flowers in hand and ambitious plans
     C               C     F
It's not hard to fall
 
        C        F      Am    G
She's walking on rivers
    C           F      Am   G
he lifts her above
       C         F      Am   G
she's full of belonging 
                C    C  F
and so full of love
 
       C         C       F
Things get a bit louder
          C        C       F
Tommy's focused on plans
      C         C            G          F
His smile's replaced with an aggressive face
            C             C        F
But she'll still hold his hand.
 
           C       C       F
Now she's given up dancing
       C             C       F
Tommy says she's too old
        C        C      G        F
He says focus on me but she disagrees
                        C       C      F
While she does as she's told
 
        C        F      Am    G
She's walking on eggshells
         C             F      Am   G
And when push comes to shove
       C         F      Am   G
she's full of belonging 
                C       C   F
but not full of love
 
Am
Back to the studio
      G
Where she was told not to go
        Em
Feeling sick with guilt, the tension builds
        F
As she opens the door
 
     Am
And what else would be there
       G
But a trusting pair
     Em                                   F
Of strong bodies, lacking in worries, performing a pas de deux
 
F
I am not right
 
Yes this is what's right
Em
Souls, and hearts and minds intertwined
   C                      F
I won't be defined by him anymore.
 
        C        F      Am    G
She's walking on eggshells
         C             F      Am   G
And when push comes to shove
       C         F      Am   G
she's full of belonging 
                C      C    F
but not full of love
 
   C          C       F
So goodbye to tommy
    C        C       F
And hello to sam,
    C           C               G             F
He doesn't wear glasses, but he loves how she dances
      C            C        F
And he'll hold her hand.
 
      C       C         F
Yes Poppy's a dancer,
     C            C      F
with plans of her own
           C       C          G         F
you'll see her and partner performing a pas de deux
        C       C      F
in the old studio
 
        C        F      Am    G
She's walking on rivers
    C           F      Am   G
he lifts her above
       C         F      Am   G
she's full of belonging 
                C
and so full of love
