[Intro]
D   Em   G   D
 
 
[Verse 1]
D
I used to drive to Montreal
C
Look up at the departure wall
    G                                       D
And buy me a ticket to anywhere I never been
D
I'd look at my planet from above
C
Meet the pilot, maybe make love
D
Touch down and let that city sweep me off my feet
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
A
Take me back to the good times
       G
When I drank up life like I drink my wine
A
Why's there always gotta be a window in between me
Bm                 C                N.C.
And everything and everyone I wanna see?
 
 
[Chorus]
          D
'Cause we can't go out but we still wanna dance
   E                                           G
We can't go out but we still want a chance for love
         D
Oh-oh-oh-oh
D
No, we can't go out but I still wanna sing
E                                         G
Can't go out but I still wanna bring back love
         A
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Bm                      A           G                    E N.C.
There's got to be a way that we can turn this ship around, ah
                                  D
'Cause you can't keep a good time down

D
I know what living's all about
  C
I breast-fed a stranger once at an In & Out
  G                                                             D
I stripped down to my skivvies and danced across the boulevard, yeah
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]

Take me back to the good times

When I drank up life like I drink my wine
A

We can't go out but we still want a chance for love
         D
Oh-oh-oh-oh
D
No, we can't go out but I still wanna sing
E                                         G

[Bridge]
D
In my dance-hall dreams
      C
I'm a benevolent queen
G                                           D
Riding on a white horse across a dance floor
D
I've got flowers in my hair
            C
And there's sugar in the air
        G                                              C
I wanna live my whole life like it's the last night at Studio54, oh-oh-oh
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
      A
Baby, take me back to the good times
       G
When I drank up life like I drink my wine
A
Why's there always gotta be a window in between me
Bm                 C                N.C.
And everything and everyone I wanna see?

We have a report of a missing child, likely a runaway in this vicinity
N.C.
Have you seen this little girl?
